Because sustainability is best understood through the 3-pillar modelof economics, social, and environmental contributions, universities should take a broad and holisticapproach the integrating sustainability into the curriculum.38 Beyond this broad responsibility,higher education also impacts specific SDGs in

]. Alternatively, the conceptualization ofdisability-as-oppression fits within the social model of disability [9]. The social model ofdisability presents disability as a consequence of a systemically excluding and oppressiveenvironment [3], [6], [7]. It acknowledges that we, as a society, have manufactured and enforcedsystemic barriers, derogatory attitudes, and social exclusion for individuals who are differentfrom those in power [7]. Additionally, some scholars view disability through a neoliberal-ableism critical lens. This model acknowledges both the realities of impairment and implicatessociety in the enforced disablement of “non-desirable others” [9]. It celebrates disability as anidentity that disrupts norms and subverts ableist values of society
