We're working on impressing into all of our departments that if an event is open to the public or outsiders it MUST be in accessible space OR the lack of access must be stated on publicity materials. All grad events and preadmissions must be on ground floor venues as lifts are the unspeakable bane of our lives right now.
I would be very inclined to let Mark know about the accessfail in a FYI cos it will add up to what he can send up his chain of command "my student was unable to attend event because of X".
Wish I could come and defenestrate a bunch of folk for you!
