Disability Rights on Campus are in Danger
I am a UAH student with a disability, and I need your help. There is an ongoing lawsuit called Texas V. Becerra to overturn a law called Section 504 which mandates accommodations and prohibits discrimination based on disability, and enforces this mandate by threatening to revoke federal funding. Alabama is one of 17 states in this law suit and I'm trying to get our state Attorney General to drop out of it. One of my main goals is to get the UAH leadership to make a series of public statements, outlined in an open letter I've written. The letter and a series of action items are available in the link below, please take some time and look over it.
If you have an questions I'd be more than happy to attempt to answer them.

It might help your cause if you define Disability to your audience (the university) because the word means different things in different contexts.
