portion of the undergraduate population that come from all 

 

parts of the world and bring varied and diverse 

 

perspectives to campus,

 

 

 

Whereas, students with disabilities need to remain engaged 

 

on issues happening on campus and within student government 

 

to ensure that participation among this population occurs, 

 

 

 

Whereas, students with disabilities at UCI face many unique 

 

challenges attending school, and 

 

 

 

Whereas, it is critical that students with disabilities 

 

have a multitude of spaces to participate in shared student 

 

governance of ASUCI and have an availability to get 

 

resources from student government,

 

 

 

Whereas, due to the demographic population of students with 

 

disabilities relative to the amount of students without 

 

disabilities, it is fairly common for ASUCI to allow for 

 

critical needs for students with disabilities to pass by, 

 

 

 

Whereas, ASUCI has a duty to ensure that students with 

 

disabilities are receiving the resources necessary to be 

 

successful on campus, 

 

 

 

Whereas, it is important that ASUCI also directly remains 

 

informed as to what the needs of students with disabilities 

 

are and thus develops a committee that facilitates the 

 

information between the two parties, 

 

 

 

Whereas, the Disability Services Center is interested in 

 

working with ASUCI in continuing this committee which is 

 

composed of both students with disabilities, professional 

 

staff from the Disabilities Services Center, ASUCI 

 

officials, and Legislative Council members, 

 

 

 

Whereas, this committee can help serve the interest of 

 

students with disabilities by allowing immediate and 

 

dedicated spaces to commit such panning to ensure that a 

 

measure of efficacy reaches the student with disabilities 

 

population, and

 

 

 

 

 

Therefore Let it Be Resolved, that ASUCI Legislative 

 

Council creates an Ad Hoc committee for students with 

 

disabilities paired with the Disability Services Center to 

 

service the needs of students with disabilities,  

 

Let it further be resolved, that the composition of this 

 

committee will be determined by the Advocacy Committee in 

 

regards to the exact number of seats and participants upon 

 

the advice of student representatives of the Disability 

 

Services Center. 

 

 

 

Let it be resolved that the Student with Disabilities 

 

Committee is empowered to select new members for the new 

 

academic year and explore more avenues to reach out and 

 

support the student with disabilities community at UCI, 

 

working with the Disability Services Center as needed, and 

 

Let it be resolved that ASUCI Legislative Council appoints 

 

At-Large Representative Matthew Carlson and At-Large Representative Ariel Barnoy from its own membership to this 

 

committee, and

 

Let it be resolved that this committee be named “Students 

 

with Disabilities Committee,” and

 

 

 

Let it finally be resolved that following the rules stated 

 

under ASUCI Bylaws, Article XIV, Section A, the progress of 

 

the Students with Disabilities Committee will be reviewed 

 

at the end of the Spring Quarter 2016 to discuss its annual 

 

renewal.
