Black, Brown, and Indigenous student populations are often underserved in higher education disability offices as compared to their white peers. What is contributing to this imbalance, and what can offices do about it? This session will identify reasons for this common disparity, discuss how DRC offices can provide resources and supports for underrepresented students, and describe how disability offices can communicate (both subtly and directly) that they are safe spaces for students of all races and backgrounds.
