Senators questioned whether some accommodations, such as reading test questions to a student or allowing two hours for a typical 50-minute exam, put students without disabilities at a disadvantage. Woodward said the law requires Iowa State to provide access, not guaranteed success, to students with disabilities. When students with disabilities request a service of accommodation, faculty have a responsibility to honor it, either by providing it themselves, asking a T.A. to provide it, or contacting Woodward's office to have the service provided. Woodward said services that carry a fee are funded according to a formula. Woodward noted that at ISU, tutoring is not part of student accommodation.
Students pay tutoring costs themselves.
Some universities pay for this service for students with disabilities. There were no nominations for Academic Affairs.
