The University’s JB Morrell Library has pledged to allow students in wheelchairs to access the wheelchair gate in the library entrance with their university cards.
Previously wheelchair users were forced to request assistance from library staff to get through the gate.
The university cards of wheelchair-using students will now be fitted with special codes which allow access to the gate.
YUSU Disabled Students Officer Thomas Ron, who proposed the change, said he was “delighted” with the news.
