About ODE

The University of Tokyo is working to create an environment in which students, faculty, and staff members with disabilities studying and working on campus can take full part in academic programming and all other facets of university life. The University’s Office for Disability Equity (ODE) was set up for this purpose. The ODE provides advice to departments, divisions, and research institutes, and helps campus communication and coordination on disability. The ODE has two branches, one on the Komaba campus and the other on the Hongo campus, where full-time coordinators provide consultation on barrier-free access. Details on ODE support and activities are introduced here.
