Faculty FAQ

1. I recieved a Letter of Accomodation for a student in my classroom, which I do not agree with or have questions about. Who do I contact?

You should immediately contact the Disability Specialist that is named in the LOA. You should contact them no later than 72 hours after receipt of the LOA. Do not argue with the student about accomodations.

2. A student has complained to DAC and I am being investigated. What does the process look like for a disability discrimination investigation?
