<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">It’s been a fast and furious start to winter term. As we face Week 2 of the quarter, take a moment to connect with others. Some in our community are affected by the L.A. fires, still others are impacted by world or national events. Whatever
it may be, our college is a place of care and inclusion. It is a place where we are intentional about creating spaces of belonging.

<p class="MsoNormal"><i><u>Instructors’ Primary Responsibilities Regarding Accommodations</u></i><b> <o:p></o:p></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act prohibit discrimination against qualified individuals with disabilities. Under Title II of the ADA, public colleges and universities are required to provide
auxiliary aids and services to qualified students with disabilities. Providing auxiliary aids and services provides students with disabilities an equal opportunity to participate in the services, programs, or activities offered by the institution.<b> <o:p></o:p></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The University collectively has responsibility to remove barriers that impact access to programs, activities, and services for students with disabilities. It is important to understand the roles and responsibilities that instructors, students,
and the AEC have in this process. If you have any questions about your responsibilities, please do not hesitate to contact the AEC by phone or email to gain clarification. You can contact AEC at 541-346-1155 or via email at
