TCU Senate Passes Resolution for Disability Senator

On December 6th, Jose decided to visit Tufts ABLE to speak about his project and also the plan behind the resolution. After his hour-long meeting, Jose thanked the disability community and its supporters for what they are doing. This fight for representation is very important and has taken a long time. The planning that Jose is looking forward to with ABLE and the disability community is to have a disability center. Unlike the StAAR Center, this center would focus on the disability community by providing resources and support, just like any other identity center.  

On December 7th, Jose attended Rules Committee on Resolution S.22-6 where he brought questions from the senate body to the authors. Jose Armando expressed his concerns and what can Tufts University administration and TCU government can do for the community. Some senators asked who qualifies to represent the community, but Jose Armando expressed the ethics behind the question as disability is a wide range. 

During Rules Committee, Jose also brought up the point he had with President Anthony P. Monaco regarding to disability on campus. Just like the conversation Jose had with Tim Jordan, Associate Director of Residential Education, "When work is being put on a building,  accessibility features are being added". In addition to that, President Monaco plans in adding testing for disabilities.
