Capital Alumnus Demands ADA Compliance
(The Capital Chimes)
November 23, 2009
COLUMBUS, OHIO– [Excerpt] While much of the University focuses on Thanksgiving break and final exams approaching, one man is focusing on making campus a more accessible place.

About two months ago, 1970 Capital alumnus Robert Lortz began to contact various members of the administration regarding the accessibility of campus.

The issue arose in February, when Lortz attended an economics conference, where a reception in Schumacher Gallery was held.

“I immediately noticed the inaccessibility in the Blackmore Library,” Lortz said. “Soon after, I made a call to the alumni association, and began writing to the President’s office and the Provost’s office.”

Lortz also has multiple technical issues with the University, mainly from the 1992 Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).
