Unfettered access for students
Approximately 150 students use Disability Support Services on AU's campus per year, according to Joanne Benica, the office's director. DSS serves students with physical, psychological and mental disabilities and works to ensure that the students it serves have physical and educational access to AU. Several students said the office has been helpful and friendly to them and their needs, while others have said there is room for improvement on the university's end, despite its compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990. This article examines all these points of view and brings more insight into what students who use this on-campus office have to do to ensure that their rights are met.
