Matt Shoreman steers his electric-powered wheelchair through the front doors of his dorm and past the corner of 15th Street and Engel Road as he races down the hill toward his 8 a.m. philosophy class in Wescoe 3140. It starts in 10 minutes. As he crosses the intersection at 15th and Naismith, Matt, a sophomore from Hays, pushes full speed toward the paved stretch between Budig and Marvin Halls — only five minutes away from Wescoe. lifeHow four Matt motors up Wescoe’s wheelchair ramp, only to be foiled by a set of heavy glass doors he can’t open. This entrance has no handicap-accessible buttons or automatic door openers, so he patiently waits outside, knowing he will be late unless someone students sees him and opens the door. Although Matt has learned to cope with frustration, these moments remind him of conquered the price he pays to be a Jayhawk. Matt became a partial quadriplegic after an accident on a playground damaged his campus, spine when he was 6 months old. Like Matt, students with physical disabilities at the University face challenges in navigating hills and old buildings and getting to class on time. The three students who have self-identified with KU Disability Resources as despite having mobility problems don’t reflect the total number of students who encounter these barriers on campus. steep hills, For Carmen Thomas, who was born without arms, getting to class means having to rely on a bus service that often makes her late to class. For Shannon Curry, who crumbling is legally blind, that means getting lost on campus or being unable to find buildings, offices and classrooms. For Brian Smith, who has cerebral palsy, it means attending buildings rigorous physical therapy twice a week just to cope with the physical strain of walking to and from class. Overcoming these problems seems as simple as providing more automatic door openers, wheelchair entrances and a more efficient para transit service, but it’s com - plicated by the state’s shrinking budget and the high cost of retrofitting buildings protected by historic preservation, backlogged renovations and construction and the steep topography of the campus.

As an able-bodied person, I have been privileged to move about without thinking about the physical barriers that stand in the way of the disabled. Being in a wheelchair for a day was a way for me to understand, only in part, the challenges of being physically disabled at this University. Within just a few hours of being in a wheelchair, I notice how much more effort everyday tasks took to accomplish. Breakfast is anything but fast.
