This committee is responsible for sharing knowledge concerning disabilities with the University community, for fostering awareness of the needs of persons with disabilities, and for advocating ways to meet these needs. Currently, the committee meets in the Student Services Building conference room on the second Monday of each month.

Committee membership is made up of representatives (faculty members) from each of the nine colleges, one faculty senate representative , two administrators appointed by the Provost, three students (one each appointed by the Government of the Student Body, Graduate Student Senate, and the student organization called the Association for Disability Awareness), one Professional and Scientific council representative, one Merit group representative, one Supervisory and Confidential representative, and one ex-officio member from the Human Relations Committee.

Student appointments are for one year terms and can be reappointed. All other appointments are for three years with staggered terms allowing for one third new membership each year. The committee encourages non-voting membership by interested ISU community members.
