Keep - The DO-IT Center is not only a campus center; its programs are directed toward assisting students with disabilities and training faculty at national and international levels. I wrote the original article (so the self-sourcing is my fault; I thought I was properly "quoting" them by sourcing their own materials; am working to fix this). I've added an Awards section to demonstrate notability. Also: I created the article because the DO-IT Center and its programs are referenced several times on Wikipedia, including the DO-IT Scholars Program and Universal design for instruction. I'm working on adding more notable sources to the article now. If it is decided that it still fails notability, it could be redirected/merged with the DO-IT Scholars Program.

Keep AlmostRutger has expanded the article, adding enough references to show notability, and also showing that this is not just a local center, but one with national and international influence. Cullen³²⁸ Let's discuss it 21:30, 17 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Keep after expansion (though it now has lots of duplicated text and needs editing). – SJ + 03:09, 24 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
