Access, not service, is protected by law
Many institutions struggle with complaints from deaf students regarding the nature and quality of services offered. Concerns include the quality of interpreter services provided, attempts to co-opt or corrupt the role of the interpreter, and complaints about the lack of institutional focus on deaf students. Under the law (§504 and the ADA), only access is protected. It is up to the individual schools to decide whether to provide other services based on the needs of the individual deaf or hard-of-hearing student—though they are not legally obligated to do so.

PEPNet has been a valuable resource to the University of Arizona for years. Using the listserv, we’ve been able to connect with other disability and higher education professionals and stay in up-to-date on emerging issues in deafness and education nationwide. We’ve even been able to locate and hire interpreters for study abroad assignments using the PEPNet network! Most recently, we were in need of information on amplification systems to support our city-wide book festival. The PEPNet team connected us with a colleague with extensive knowledge in assistive listening devices. Using the resources she provided, we found a perfect solution and were even able to serve as a source of information for another service provider who was seeking similar information. PEPNet is like having a team of colleagues in your pocket.
