Student's Question of the Week
Q: What can I do if I feel I have been discriminated against because of my disability?
A:
The Institute of Learning at the University of Kansas created a series
of brochures for students in college that will be featured here in the Question
of the Week series. One of them describes the grievance procedure available
to students with disabilities on every campus. Check with the department on
your campus that serves students with disabilities to see how your campus
has designed the grievance procedure. Each campus also has an ADA Officer
who will discuss such issues with you.
A grievance is usually a complaint about the inability to be given certain accommodations, the inability to access buildings or information, or about unequal treatment based upon your disability. To go directly to the information on all of these subjects, click here. You can print the page out and fill in information, if you would like to keep a copy.
This
link allows you to
access all of the student brochures in either html (for easier reading online)
or pdf (the
pdf
version is printable and can be folded to turn into a brochure).
