Palmetto Report

(Rock Hill, S.C.) -- A group of Winthrop University students is working to raise awareness of accessibility issues on campus, including elevators that don't work, broken blue light emergency phones or a lack of ramps and street crossing signs. WU Students for Change, a campus advocacy group, has started to draw attention to the issues with elevators, staircases, ramps and audible beaconing crosswalk signals, which have broken in the last few months. The Palmetto Report's Gabe Corbin speaks with Ainsley McCarthy, a sophomore mass communication major and leader of WU Students for Change who has cerebral palsy and requires a wheelchair for movement, about the accessibility challenges on campus.
