Thanks. Those are some major changes. Although I can appreciate what they are attempting to do, I'm not sure I agree with them all, though.

For example, in school related matters, what the rules say may work in a larger school with large classrooms and hundreds of students offering a great number of choices for class scheduling of the same course and opportunites for separation, but what of smaller schools with much smaller 20-30 student-sized classrooms or in required upper level courses with limited course offerings which are held with <15 students and a professor seated together at a single table in an even smaller room. I've experienced both environments in both public and private schools, colleges, and universities.

Who is accomodated? Or is that where the
"...if possible..." wording in the ADA regulations comes into play.

I agree with WCH and it will be interesting to see how this all shakes out in the final wash.

Not having to deal with these sorts of issues any longer is a perk to being retired and getting to spend time walking the fields with my two dogs as they look for pheasant, quail, rabbits, ducks, geese, an occasional King or Gopher Snake and anything else they can manage to scare up out there and I only have to concern myself with them scaring up a skunk or coyote.
