You don't feel like a class member when you can't sit at a desk or a table. According to Howard Rose, UST's director of facilities operations, accommodations can be made for students including relocating classes to accessible areas or replacing classroom desks with tables and chairs. Esquibel said the University accommodated her in several ways. However, Rose said that the guidelines set forth in the plan are flexible and that the University is trying to incorporate the survey's goals within 10 years. Each year, the University allocates a certain amount of money for remodeling, and specific projects are chosen accordingly.
New structures require building permits and are subject to city inspection.
UST has a Committee for Accommodations for Students With Special Needs. We make as many accommodations as we can.
