Regarding 'Paralyzed, moving on' (Sept. 22):
I was sincerely moved reading the story of Andrea Wilson and her loyal companion Bradley, and I look forward to meeting her. Her resolve to participate in Outdoor Action speaks to the physical and inner strength that she must exhibit on a daily basis.
However, I was shocked to read that the University placed her in Forbes College, let alone on the third floor. Assistant Dean Flores-Mills' assertion that Forbes is the best place for students with mobility impairments is dubious and unsubstantiated. It is counterintuitive to me to place any student in a wheelchair in the dorm farthest away from classroom buildings.
I live in Witherspoon, a dorm building that couldn't be more accessible to disabled students. There are ramps with which to enter the building as well as a large elevator inside. In my bathroom, I find a huge stall as well as a shower with a foldout bench and a retractable shower handle, all designed for the ease of students in wheelchairs. Even my quad boasts an extra-large bedroom, suitable for a disabled student. I've been told that Witherspoon was recently renovated in order to make it handicapped accessible.
Surely Witherspoon, with its proximity to McCosh, Firestone and other buildings, would have been a much better choice than Forbes. Rob Bernstein '08
