Blind student sues Miami University over alleged discrimination; WCPO.com, 1/13/14

Maxim Alter, WCPO.com; Blind student sues Miami University over alleged discrimination: "A blind student is suing Miami University over claims the school discriminated against her because of her disability. Aleeha Dudley, who is pursuing a degree in zoology, alleges Miami University deliberately failed to make “necessary modifications” so she could complete her coursework... According to the suit, the university failed to provide textbooks and course materials in accessible formats, including Braille... But former Miami student Heather Komnenovich said that cannot be the case. Komnenovich, a 2005 graduate, said she also struggles with multiple disabilities and believes the faculty at Miami "bent over backwards" to help her succeed. "(The director of the Office of Disability Resources) has done everything in his power to help me out so I didn't flunk my studies, and I had some issues," Komnenovich said. "He went out on a limb so I could graduate. I know he would make sure Aleeha was getting the same treatment.""
