When
There is Disagreement
|
If
an academic accommodation which has been determined to be appropriate
by the Ross Center is challenged by faculty or staff, the accommodation
must be provided in a timely manner, pending review as follows:
The faculty member will present to the Director of the Ross
Center reasons why the requested accommodation compromises the
essential requirements of a course or program.
The Director of the Ross Center will attempt to resolve the
issue. If it is determined that the requested accommodation
does, in fact, compromise the course or program requirements,
alternate types of equivalent accommodations will be discussed.
If no equivalent modifications can be determined or if the instructor
disagrees with the proposed resolution, relevant information
will be presented to the ADA Compliance Officer or Appeals Committee. A decision on the matter will be rendered after careful deliberation and discussion.
The ADA Compliance Officer’s or the Appeals Committee's decision may be appealed to the
Chancellor. The Chancellor or a designee will then resolve
the matter based on the following process. The designee
will review the facts of the situation, review how the grievance
process was conducted, then render a decision. The Chancellor
will respond in writing.
Every effort should be made to resolve the disagreement as expeditiously
as possible. In general, each phase of the process should be
completed within ten working days. As described above, the
accommodation must be provided by the instructor until or unless
it is either set aside or modified by the Director of the Ross
Center or the ADA Compliance Officer.
