[nabs-l] A problem with a university disability resource center

[Beth]

You're not the only one dealing with disability related problems at
university.  Me too.  I have to deal with all this with a disability
office that will not let me take tests and a prof that doesn't like me
using alternatives to the disability office.  So I am always shot down
when I tell her I've hired a reader for a test and she says, "No, I'm
not comfortable."  Yeah, she may be nice, but she has no idea what she
is doing.
