This webpage discusses the importance of Universal Design for campuses and classrooms.

"To teach effectively, your teaching must be accessible to your students, all of whom come to the classroom with varied backgrounds, expectations, and abilities. This understanding is at the heart of the philosophy of practice known as universal design for learning (UDL). UDL is part of a larger movement of universal design, which works to increase access for all through designs that—from the beginning—consider needs of diverse people, not just adapting when a situation requires it. For instructors, UDL means designing your course with accessibility in mind—regardless of whether you’ve been approached by a student who may “require” such adjustments."
