Few Canadian studies have addressed the experiences of students with and without disabilities, instructors, and administrators and staff.
“Likewise, in spite of a growing sense that a complete picture of higher education accessibility must include the perspectives of students with and without disabilities (Madriaga et al. 2010), instructors (Cook, Rumrill, and Tankersley 2009), and administrators and staff (Riddell et al. 2007), few Canadian studies have addressed the experiences of this diverse group of stakeholders.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
