“There are approximately 150 academic and administrative buildings on campus(Grant)… only about nineteen buildings comply fully with the Americans with Disabilities(ADA)” (Deshpande 296). In Manasi Deshpande’s essay, A Call to Improve Campus Accessibility, argues for more college campuses to accommodate for students with disabilities. She starts off her essay with a wheelchair-bound college student at University of Texas at Austin, Wes Holloway, and his struggle with campus accessibility. Throughout her essay, Deshpande explains the benefits for people and the university, once they meet the campus requirements for disabled people. Furthermore, in her essay she explains to her opposition why it is effective to improve campus accessibility even

Deshpande writes, “But for many students and faculty at UT, including me, maneuvering the UT campus in a wheelchair is a daily experience of stress and frustration” (Deshpande 295). This image evokes how difficult and emotionally the author and many wheelchair-bound faculty and students face daily at campus, effectively how important her argument is. Her intention is for people to be sympathetic for all disabled college members. To do this, she adds words and phrases such as; “suffer”, “discriminatory hardship”, “unequal opportunity to succeed”, and “lack of independence” (Deshpande 295).

For instance, she receives information from UT faculty, “According to Penny Seay, PhD, director of the Center for Disability Studies at UT Austin , the ADA in theory ‘requires every building to be accessible’” (Deshpande 296). Providing a quote from a faculty from UT, verifies that the UT campus needs to update their accessibility, and if people who want to seek more help with disabilities they know who to go to. She also, provides quotes from other professionals, “According to Mike Gerhardt, student affairs administrator of Services for Students with Disabilities (SSD), approximately eighty students with physical disabilities… are registered with SSD” (Deshpande 297). Giving quotes and statistics from UT faculty show how determined Deshpande is to shed more light on how the UT campus has barely any accessibility. Without a doubt her logos appeal heightens her article, but applying more logical strategies make the reader more informed with her
