–this Thursday (Oct. 30th) @ 1:30 in the DSP office.
♦ advisory committee agenda
· request twice a quarter meetings
· request DSP advertising for the meetings?
· request written denial of service for any services
that have been requested and DSP cannot provide
♦ Should this be it’s own group made up of 1
representative from each disability type?
Can CODA handle this?

DSP? The potential threat of
retribution for student participation?

Still working on the social logistics
♦ Ali
o
Let’s look into the evacuation plan for
disasters
♦ Jim is involved with this as part of his
research. The evacuation plan seems to
address permanent members of departments (staff, faculty, grad students). Some Students may be slipping through the
cracks.
o
Dangerous interchange at stadium road
and bike path
♦ Sean (AS technology guy)
o
Has an IMac we can have.
♦ We need a PC though
· Edward has offered to loan one of his PC’s + a 19
inch monitor.
· Sean to email Ed with the specs. Ed will bring it in.
· Looks like we are going to get both.
♦ UCSB to renovate bike path markers – Nexus article
discussed
o
Jim is on top of this
♦ It is the heavy vehicle traffic that appears to be
eroding the markers
♦ It looks like the mats are the best
♦ Jim has two laws saying that concrete scoring does
not meet compliance
♦ New mission Statement – goals, objectives, etc. to
come
o
The Associated Students
Commission on Disability Access exists to empower students with disabilities
and to uphold the basic civil right of equal access while working to ensure a
safe and inclusive campus community for all students with disabilities at UCSB.
♦ A student had some suggestions to help the
process of extra time on test taking at the DSP— getting a proctor—wrote an email to dsp and cc’d chancellor and vice
chancellor. The vice chancellor would
like to talk with some students with disabilities. Got little/unsatisfactory response from the DSP office.
