Inadequate number of interpreters. Concern for all students in deaf community. Need qualified, high level certified full time staff interpreters on campuses. Everyone recognized that generally services in both area are pretty good when they are available, but in peak periods of time they are not available and that is a problem. More staffing and scheduling adjustments would be helpful.
Technology is relevant to assisting in staff issues.
Requires training for staff and students and expense. It would allow allow advisors more time to advise students, would allow students to access more information regarding scholarships and grants, and students be more self sufficient. Colleges need to employ certified interpreters. Inservice for faculty is important. Need to make sure they are comfortable meeting the needs of the various students.
