Hopkins won’t accept responsibility when it fails disabled students
Reporting about the SGA, not a record of it: The Johns Hopkins News-Letter published this and the SGA did not write it, file it, or approve it. The archive holds it because the article itself uses the phrases “sga” and “student government”.
Summary
- This Johns Hopkins News-Letter article covers Laurel Maury’s account of disability-accommodation problems in an Engineering for Professionals math course and the university’s response.
- The News-Letter reported that Maury said the professor read the disability-services disclaimer and then said, “This class may not be recorded except, unfortunately, for disability purposes.”
- The paper reported that the disability coordinator added facing forward to Maury’s accommodations, but she said the professor continued to face the board.
- The article says an OIE lawyer agreed to ask the professor to face forward, and later reports that OIE declined to investigate Maury’s formal complaint.
- The reporter writes that the professor did not count Maury’s final project, which she said she submitted before seeing the written due date, and that she received a C and was placed on academic probation.
- The article adds that the SGA contacted Maury after her earlier article and was putting out a disability-at-Hopkins survey for everyone.
