Given the interest in the job search phone call, I think we could do a conference call using one of those free conference call services. I think an evening might be best for those who are currently working or I might have other obligations during the day. Any thoughts?

>> A federal appeals court overturned a lower court and ruled a blind
>> plaintiff can pursue an Americans with Disabilities Act lawsuit against
>> Dunkin Donuts L.L.C. for allegedly having an inaccessible website.
>>
>> The case is part of a trend, with more courts ruling against companies
>> over the issue of website accessibility, while the number of lawsuits
>> alleging ADA violations related to website access grows dramatically.
>>
>> The case decided Tuesday involved Dennis Haynes, who is blind and relies
>> on screen reading software to use the internet, according to the 11th U.S.
>> Circuit Court of Appeals in Atlanta in Dennis Haynes v. Dunkin? Donuts
>> L.L.C., a foreign limited liability company, DD IP Holder L.L.C., CashStar
>> Inc.
>>
>> Mr. Haynes sued Canton, Mass-based Dunkin Donuts in U.S. District Court in
>> Fort Lauderdale, Florida, claiming the company violated Title III of the
>> ADA by not maintaining a website compatible with screen reading software.
>>
>> The District Court dismissed the case, which was overturned by a unanimous
>> three-judge appeals court panel. It appears Dunkin? Donuts? website ?is a
>> service that facilitates the use of Dunkin Donuts? shops, which are places
>> of public accommodation,? the ruling states.
>>
>> Under the ADA, ?whatever goods and services Dunkin? Donuts offers as a
>> part of its place of public accommodation, it cannot discriminate against
>> people on the basis of a disability, even if those goods and services are
>> intangible,? the ruling says.
>>
>> Mr. Haynes could not access services offered online by Dunkin? Donuts?,
>> including information about store locations and the ability to buy gift
>> cards online.
>>
>> ?The failure to make those services accessible to the blind can be said to
>> exclude, deny, or otherwise treat blind people ?differently than other
>> individuals because of the absence of auxiliary aids and services,?? said
>> the ruling, in quoting the ADA and remanding the case for further
>> proceedings.

>> Students With Disabilities Sue ACT Over Release of Personal Information
>> Education Week
>> August 7, 2018
>> By Catherine Gewertz
>>
>> A group of college-bound students with special needs and their parents
>> filed suit Monday against ACT Inc., claiming the the testmaker illegally
>> disclosed to colleges that they have disabilities.
>>
>> The class action suit, filed in U.S. District Court in Los Angeles,
>> challenges the way the Iowa-based company uses information about students
>> with disabilities. It collects that information as part of the "profile"
>> students fill out online as they register for the college-admission exam,
>> and an information form that students complete on the day of the exam.
>>
>> Introductory text in the profile tells students they can skip any question
>> they don't want to answer, but says it's intended to "help you think about
>> your future education and to help colleges in their planning."
>>
>> But instead of keeping it confidential, the suit says, ACT shares it with
>> colleges by "flagging" their test-score reports, indicating that the scores
>> were earned by someone who took the exam with accommodations.
>>
>> ACT and the College Board, which makes the SAT, agreed years ago to stop
>> flagging the test scores of students who take the exam with accommodations,
>> after that practice drew widespread criticism.
>>
>> But the new lawsuit says that the version of the score report that ACT
>> sends to colleges shows information about disabilities, while the version
>> that goes to students and their high schools does not.
>>
>> Using students' personal information that way "stigmatizes" them as they
>> apply to college, Rahul Ravipudi, one of the attorneys on the students'
>> legal team, says in a prepared statement.
>>
>> Edward Colby, a spokesman for ACT, said the company doesn't comment on
>> pending litigation.
>>
>> The lawsuit also takes issue with ACT for selling students' information to
>> colleges, scholarship programs, and other organizations for recruitment and
>> marketing.
>>
>> It says that ACT sells a searchable database to enrollment managers at
>> colleges, and bills it as a way to find the "right students for your
>> institution," and provide the right support so students can succeed. But
>> that information can also help colleges "create markets that intentionally
>> exclude categories of students based upon the data elements provided,
>> including students with disabilities," the suit says.
>>
>> "ACT profits off these violations and uses them to gain an edge in the
>> marketplace over its only competitor, the College Board, which does not
>> disclose students' disabilities to colleges and universities," the lawsuit
>> says.
>>
>> The students-from families in California, Colorado and Nevada-claim that
>> their work prospects could be affected, also, because the data report
>> created by ACT's WorkKeys assessment-a popular career-readiness
>> test-suggests that they took that exam with accommodations. "Tens of
>> thousands of employers may have access to this data at any given time," the
>> lawsuit says.
>>
>> The lawsuit describes how ACT's information-sharing practices played out
>> for the students. Halie Bloom, who lives in Newport Beach, Calif.,
>> graduated from high school this past spring. Because of
>> attention-deficit-hyperactivity disorder and a reading disability, she's
>> had an individualized education plan, or IEP, since middle school.
>>
>> Bloom took the ACT several times with approved accommodations. ACT
>> acquired the information about her disability from her test-registration
>> process. The score reports it sent to the colleges she requested included a
>> notation that she had a "learning or cognitive disability."
>>
>> Bloom will attend the University of Arizona in the fall. But she believes
>> that colleges and scholarship organizations may have declined to consider
>> her after ACT shared her disability status with them.
>>
>> "I was shocked to learn that ACT was using my disability information
>> against me and making it more difficult for me to get into college and get
>> the money I need to go to college," Bloom said in a prepared statement.
>> "I'm speaking out, because I know that someone has to stand up for all of
>> the students who are scared about how their disabilities will be used
>> against them."
>>
>> The lawsuit seeks a court order that would bar ACT from collecting or
>> disclosing students' disability status to third parties as of the next
>> administration of the test, in September. It also seeks damages for
>> violation of students' privacy and civil rights.
