@ucdavis @Chancellor_May thinks it's appropriate to scare its (disabled) students each quarter by telling our insurance company that we no longer have health insurance.

@OurFlagOnMax 😭😭😭😭😭😭 @StreamOnMax noooooooo

@Chancellor_May : A great way to wish students “luck” on finals would be to ensure disabled students get access accommodations for their tests. Students are currently being turned away from AES

[Gary S. May @Chancellor_May]

On this week's episode of Thursday Thoughts, I finally rub Bookhead for good luck for finals.

You've got this, Aggies! Good luck with finals!

@ucdavis @Chancellor_May Students are being denied accommodations and turned away from AES during finals. What’s admin’s plan for providing an education to its disabled students?

[Delanie Harrington-Dummit @DelanieWithAnIE]

@Chancellor_May: Did you know that students are being refused access accommodations for finals because AES is overbooked? Surely we can find space and staff on a 42,500 square foot campus for your disabled students to access the education they paid for.

“By [...] subverting issues of access, the production forced the audience into awareness of this discrepancy.”

@DevinGordonX @TheAtlantic Seems like accessibility might be more important than “art”. The hearing/able-bodied hubris when people don’t realize accessibility is ALSO helpful to them and that ability is a super tenuous category?

@AssemblyDems @AsmRepublicans We paid attention when you removed the Let CA Kids Hear Act from the agenda in the late hours or the night. Put it back on! #deafKidsMatter

[Delanie Harrington-Dummit @DelanieWithAnIE]

@JimWoodAD2 @RendonAD62 @PhilTing Don't let the assembly be sneaky, be an ally! Put the Let California Kids Hear BACK on the agenda!

[Delanie Harrington-Dummit @DelanieWithAnIE]

Only TEN% of kids have hearing aids covered by health insurance in California. Late last night, CA Assembly removed the Let California Kids Hear Act from their agenda. @JimWoodAD2 @RendonAD62 @PhilTing YOU have the power to make California more accessible! #DisabledKidsMatter

Is it just me or do "pre-conference activities" as a replacement for accessibly-planned conferences seem insufficient?

[Delanie Harrington-Dummit @DelanieWithAnIE]

In my classroom, there’s a sign that says “Assistive listening device available. Call ###”

No critical thinking involved, huh @Chancellor_May ?

[Delanie Harrington-Dummit @DelanieWithAnIE]

Pretty demoralizing to see @ucdavis ‘s shiny, new, $86,000,000 “teaching learning complex” have several classrooms that have “not wheelchair accessible” signs on the door. ADA who?

[Delanie Harrington-Dummit @DelanieWithAnIE]

Just found a bathroom with a sign that says “inclusive restroom” and another sign that says “nearest accessible men’s room on second level”

Because of her work, we have the right to a public life, to basic human rights. We will never again be relegated to the margins.

Anyway, I replied & included a list of *real* research resources, links to catalogues & orgs that could help with genealogical research, & the enquirer was extremely grateful for professional advice. And thankfully resolved not to use #ChatGBT for historical research in future 🙌

I wish that this disaster were getting more news coverage. $25K might not even cover one person’s cancer treatment. And $25K/5K people = $5 per person.

[Delanie Harrington-Dummit @DelanieWithAnIE]

It just occurred to me that when I started grad school, I went to a mandated training that included “how to evaluate student athletes” and accommodate their schedules but was never mandated accessibility or disability inclusion training. Interesting.

[Delanie Harrington-Dummit @DelanieWithAnIE]

@CEOAdam On that note, how are you planning to expand accessibility, when your current measures regularly fail?

[Delanie Harrington-Dummit @DelanieWithAnIE]

@CEOAdam Captioning devices only work in certain parts of the theater. How will you prevent disabled customers needing to pay more for access?
