Question 1: How do you think Texas State is different now than it might have been before the Act? “Probably added much more ramps, elevators and the door openers to every building and garage.”

Question 2: Do you ever use any of the physical accommodations required by the ADA, such as elevators, ramps or door openers? “Yeah it’s just easier to use them to get around the campus without tiring yourself out.”

Question 3: What do you think this university would be like without the ADA?

“There probably wouldn’t be many students that couldn’t take the stairs or were like limited physically to be attending at the university, since Texas State was built alongside a hill.”

“Pretty well. I see ramps and elevators and everything everywhere I go on campus.”
