| That's the underlying point in my complaint. What my university has done, so far, is similar to the "segregation but equal" type of thing. UM, no, it's not. I find it hard to sympathize when you're comparing you failing a college degree program with racism, slavery, and segregation. You didn't get ... |

| There is a lesson for you here. If you need an accomodation, you should ask for it in writing up front. The university has ultimately been fair and non-discrimatory to you in allowing you to graduate with a different degree. Jason. Exactly. Request reasonable accommodations up front in writing, and... |

| I've already disclosed my disability with AS to my department when I first wrote my rationale letter upon applying to my program several years ago. It doesn't matter anymore. Due to constraints of time, I'll most likely to accept their alternative offer, but that will NOT stop me from fighting thei... |

| I did. I wrote that down in the original student complaint form at school, when I submitted my student complaint to the administration. You should have asked for this accomodation before you started your internship, not afterwards when making a complaint. It's too late then. Jason. At the time of t... |

| Wow. Academia is pretty messed up in the USA. It's appalling. Both my husband and I were enrolled in PhD programs and we both left with out PhDs more or less voluntarily because we were so disgusted with what goes on even at well known univeristies. This includes things you wouldn't think of like p... |

My name is Henry, and I'm an international grad student at a state University in Minnesota, doing my Master's on Applied Behaviour Analysis. I'm from Vancouver, BC. I'm also a registered student with disabilities, as I was diagnosed ... |

| Because I'm away 3200km from home (in Vancouver, BC) in St. Cloud, MN, doing grad school for the past 3 years. Most people around my age in St. Cloud are already married with kids (I'm 27), so my chances are pretty limited. Plus, I'm ethnically Chinese and I prefer dating East Asians, and there are ... |
