Guidelines for Student Disability Support Services


1. Underlying Philosophy
Keio University established the Office for Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion on April 1, 2018, to carry out the objective of building an environment conducive to staff, faculty members, and students of all ages cooperating and coexisting in a spirit of mutual respect and acceptance for one another's individual personalities and various values, and to facilitate prompt responses to issues relating to welcoming diversity. Keio also drafted the Charter for the Promotion of Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion, which calls for the realization of a world in which we mutually respect each other's dignity and ensure that no one is isolated or excluded from society among people with a variety of backgrounds in terms of age, sexual orientation and gender identity (SOGI), disability, culture, nationality, race, religion, and lifestyle. The university will strive to support students with disabilities by establishing basic policies and guidelines on support services and accommodations for students with disabilities. These efforts are in accordance with the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, which was enacted in Japan on February 19, 2014; and the Guidelines for Promoting the Elimination of Discrimination on the Basis of Disability in Projects under the Jurisdiction of the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT Bulletin No. 180, 2015), which was established based on Article 11, Paragraph 1 of the Act for Eliminating Discrimination against Persons with Disabilities (Act No. 65, 2013), which came into effect on April 1, 2016.
