Liz Gadsden has multiple sclerosis and wants to cut the distance she walks to work every day by a fourth. But she can’t use the shorter route because it’s not public, said Chuck Price, director of the Joe Crowley Student Union.
The disease attacks Gadsden’s nerves and hampers her ability to walk. Gadsden, who works in the Graduate Student Association in The Joe, walks with a crutch and said she gets easily winded.
To cut the walk, Gadsden occasionally uses the service door near the third-floor movie theater. The entrance is half the distance of the American Disabilities Act-approved sliding glass doors everyone is meant to use.
