Establishing a culture that consistently welcomes, promotes, and encourages diversity, equity and inclusion is part of the RUSH commitment to excellence. The Universal Design for Learning (UDL) approach is a newer educational concept that refers to the creation of curricula and/or services which inherently minimize or eliminate the need for special accommodations. The principle objective of universal design is to be an assistive framework for faculty that addresses various learning styles and needs of students with or without disability in efforts to maintain equity in education.
