Quote
Similarly, between 1999-2000, Taura-Jean Gilbert studied fourteen United Church of Christ seminaries, using a combination of interviews (faculty, students, administrators, alumni), a survey, document analysis, and site visits to learn about acceptance and accommodation of students with disability. She found that seminaries were making progress regarding physical accessibility, but that little was being accomplished in terms of curriculum, even while schools typically had courses on women, gender roles, and sexualities.1
