The National Federation of the Blind and Disability Rights Ohio are helping her legal challenge. Advocates say blind students have faced similar barriers in colleges elsewhere.
“Miami is not alone in this,” said attorney Kerstin Sjoberg-Witt, of Disability Rights Ohio. “It’s a very common problem in higher education.”
Miami University said it tries to accommodate specific needs of the disabled and students can have “an interactive dialogue or process” with the Office of Disability Resources to take care of issues. It said the office is serving some 335 students and 65 faculty and staff members and is committed to equal access.
Dudley said she plans to continue pursuing her studies at Miami and to graduate from there.
