If a student requests information regarding his or her rights and/or requests an accommodation, how should the instructor or staff person decide what can or should be allowed?
Assuming responsibility for conveying information regarding university policies and/or determining a student’s rights should be done with care. Students can be referred to Disability Services for information regarding university policies and determination of rights. If faculty or staff determine this on their own, they are responsible for any damages resulting from misinformation or discriminatory action such as the unwarranted denial of a reasonable accommodation.
