Deaf student may not be able to graduate with teaching degree because of interpreter regulations

This is taking place at my school and I am furious. Under the American with Disabilities Act any school district (with the exception of a deaf school) that hires her will have to provide an interpreter. It’s ridiculous that the school is not allowing her to have an interpreter in the classroom when she will have one while she is actually working. I will be working on legislation with the student government association to do something about this, but for the time being I think it needs some visibility.

Don’t let CMU get away with this.  

There is now a petition! Sign and reblog!

University students with their necks painted protest at Bolivar square in 	      Bogota, Colombia, Thursday Nov. 3, 2011. Their signs read in Spanish “We 	      have the right to be outraged,” left, and “Excellent education and for all!!” 	      Students are protesting education reforms planned by the government that 	      propose private funding for public institutions.
