For three years disabled students have been trying to form a student council to join the SGA. UMKC let Veterans and the LBGTQUIA form a student council without allowing Disabled Students to form a student council at the same time. UMKC says forming three councils in one year is bad for students on SGA, so now UMKC is moving to have a Vice Chancellors Disabled Student Council which will have no voice on Student Government Association. Disabled Students want to treated just like all other students who attend UMKC. Please sign this petition so that Disabled Students in Higher Education can form a Student Council at UMKC Student Government Association so that we can have the same 100K+ plus budget and add a voice to the SGA for disabled students at UMKC.
Why is this important?
Disabled Students have no voice on SGA. We have no representation on SGA. We have been segregated from other students. Disabled Students do not recieve Scholarships and CFellowships at UMKC. We are not admitted Professional Student programs. At UMKC we are even told that we cannot get certified to teach disabled children because we are disabled. Disability is not the end of the world but at UMKC disabled students cannot get an stipend for student employment like the other demographics. We need your help. Please sign this petition so that UMKC lets Disabled Students be a part of student government. Thank You in Advance
