Update on the meeting at DSP last
Thursday
§ Discussed the idea of a student advisory
commission. This will be a campus
committee not a student group – a lot like the ADA committee.
§ Some issues are:
· a localized testing center, with paid staff, for
extended test time.
-space,
exclusivity (does this promote segregation?)
· Ideally each disability should be represented
· What about faculty advisors?
§ Next meeting will be on 11/13/03, Thursday @ 1:30 in
the DSP office. COME.
o
The Grass roots seminar is this
weekend.
o
Office stuff

· Dry erase board and every thing else…
§ Clean up and decorate?

Finances

Some students could use an adaptive
