The COVID-19 pandemic impacted all components of higher education, with current inequities within the campus setting exacerbated, creating larger disparities between individuals with and without readily available access to needed resources. Utilizing data collected from a national survey, this article highlights the perceptions and experiences of disability resource professionals (DRPs) employed at minority-serving institutions (MSIs) on how students with disabilities fared during the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as potential recommendations for supporting students with disabilities at MSIs for the future. The experiences of DRPs working at MSIs during the COVID-19 pandemic reveal challenges for students with disabilities that may complicate or significantly impact their academic experience within the MSI setting.
