[civsa] Interpreting Services

[Joyce Palmer]

That's an unpleasant surprise, Scott. So far, no such charges at University of Washington for disability services. The requests are rare.

Below is a copy of an event confirmation. At the bottom is advice about disability services. UW will not rent wheelchairs on behalf of a party. The guest(s) must do so because of liability concerns.

Friends the craziest thing happened to me just this morning.  The Disability Services office is charging Admissions for interpreting services!  Yes, you read that right.

I am floored, in the three previous schools I've worked at, interpreting services was always provided to guests on tours free of charge.

Am I crazy?  Have I been spoiled?  Or are others in the same boat as me here at Utah?

Scott
