Great job keeping everything in writing especially with the supervisors to ensure that, no communication was getting out of hand. I would push the issue especially since you have it in writing.

His response was that he was sorry that technology wasn't working, but that I should work with Disability Services more! My problem is I have already informed ODS (several times) about this acce3ssibility problem, as well as the inaccessible of outlook webmail (which wright state uses for their email provider,) and nothing has been done.
