Diversability Events

Join the Penn State Office of the Vice Provost for Educational Equity’s (Office of the Vice Provost for Educational Equity) Diversability Committee as we commemorate the thirtieth anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA), which protects individuals with disabilities from discrimination in areas of public life.

We are honoring the signing of the ADA with two virtual events surrounding the disability civil rights movement. These events will provide insight into the origins of the disability civil rights movement and ongoing advocacy for disability rights in America.

The Americans with Disabilities Act

The Americans with Disabilities Act was signed into law on July 26, 1990. The ADA prohibits discrimination of people with disabilities in the United States and guarantees the right to pursue opportunities that all Americans have, including employment, purchasing goods and services and the ability to participate in State and local government programs.
