Classifieds Scientific Community Unites Against Kansas Board of Education Evolution Decision On 10 August 1999, the Kansas State Board of Education (KSBE) voted 6 to 4 to remove the teaching of evolution from the state’s science education standards. In response, the American Institute of Biological Sciences released a statement reflecting its disappointment and disapproval of that decision. AIBS member societies the Association of Southeastern Biologists (ASB) and the Society for the Study of Evolution (SSE) have joined AIBS in releasing their own statements of concern about the decision (following cover). These scientific organizations would like to remind Kansas of the sentiment spelled out by its own Vision Statement, which states that "students cannot achieve high levels of performance without ... a rich array of learning material" (taken from the Kansas Science Education Standards Fourth Working Draft, April 1999, as posted at http://www.ksbe.state.ks.us/topics.html). "Virtually all credible scientists believe that it is morally reprehensible to intentionally withhold knowledge from our children," says SSE President-Elect Michael Lynch of the University of Oregon. "No well-educated person wants to raise their children in an atmosphere of censorship."

Meeting Held on Promoting Accessible Design in Education July 27, 2005 In recognizing the critical role education plays in ensuring access for people with disabilities to the built environment, the Board is undertaking an initiative to promote accessible design in the education of architects, interior designers, engineers and others. As a first step in this endeavor, the Board held a forum to get advice from various experts on how it should proceed. Specifically, the Board sought input on how this effort can be advanced through education curricula, design competitions and awards, and outreach to colleges, universities, and accrediting organizations. In opening remarks , Board Member Daniel O. Rios, P.E. noted that "the Board wants to take accessibility to the next level by assuring that current and future practitioners have an integral understanding of what accessibility means as they design and construct the buildings of the future. We have made this one of our top strategic priorities." Over 30 participants , including representatives from university programs, accrediting organizations, trade associations, professional societies, and disability groups, provided guidance and suggestions on how this initiative can be undertaken most effectively and strategically. Pioneers in education on accessible or universal design, including Elaine Ostroff, Dr. Edward Steinfeld, and others, offered insights based on their own experiences and efforts. The event was held July 25th during a week of events celebrating the 15th anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).
