The aim of VMU Disability Policy, entitled “University of Inclusive Opportunities”, is to ensure a culture of equality and non-discrimination at the University by providing reasonable accommodations to the study and working conditions and by increasing the accessibility of studies. Each of us is responsible for ensuring that all members of the University community, regardless of their differences and diversity, have equal rights and opportunities," says VMU Disability Coordinator Miglė Janušauskaitė.
