StFX Accessibility Plan Accountability Framework
The entire University community is responsible for working together to action the initiatives, assist those accountable for the work, and effect changes across our campus. To improve transparency and ensure accountability, we have developed an Accountability Framework to guide implementation of the StFX Accessibility Plan and track our progress.
