The University has confirmed plans to invite Chair of Scope, Alice Maynard, to improve access across university campuses.
Maynard, a key adviser to Transport for London on issues of access, has agreed to advise the University’s Disability Accessibility Group.
Academic Registrar David Duncan told Vision: “Dr Alice Maynard is a distinguished alumna of the University with internationally recognised expertise on disability issues.
“We look forward to welcoming Alice back to York soon.”
Maynard, a campaigner and businesswoman, recently received an honorary degree from the University of York.
