In May 2005, the Chancellor established the Task Force on Disability. The Chancellor asked the Task Force to identify the strengths and weaknesses of the University with respect to disability issues; to develop proposals for fund raising; to identify priorities for the development of future programs and services; and to discuss SU's potential for innovative leadership on disability issues at the local, regional, national and international levels.

The Task Force has since issued a
Report of the Chancellor’s Task Force on Disability: Realizing the Vision of Inclusion, Access, and Full Participation. This Report provides a blue print for change that will position Syracuse University as a model of inclusion and access.
