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

[Serena]

This is totally insane!  The disability office doesn't have a clue what 
they're doing!

Is there anybody from the NFB center you trust, such as one of your former 
counselors, enough to tell about this?  Maybe, they could give you some 
advice.  There's always the law!  Maybe, Scott Labarre, who's also on this 
list, could help you.
