Abstract
The aim of this paper is to blow the whistle on the upcoming decline in quality and accessibility of the built environment in Poland following a reform currently underway in higher education and research which has placed accessibility outside the field of interest of architecture and urban planning. In consequence of the major changes in the government evaluation which will define the future funding of all academic institutions, studies on the needs of people with disabilities will no longer be in the interest of the institutions to which architects and urban designers are affiliated. This will add yet another barrier to the numerous existing ones limiting accessibility.
