all  students should be treated equally and have the right for a education  even  if they have a diability.

Being with the Admissions department for a year I have learned it is essential to keep communication consistent with all individuals you speak to, therefore it is important to stay on top of all federal and state guidelines and statutes before providing admissions services to prospective students

 You should know about all rules and regulations and apply them to make less mistakes

Social media can be a key part of the admissions process for potential students, so it's very important to know the do's and don'ts when it comes to staying compliant with social media marketing and interactions.

I found that little bumper sticker on the back of the motorized wheelchair about how "I may not be perfect but ..." I think it said something about excellence? It is something my sister with muscular atrophy would have had on her motorized wheelchair.

I truly like the quotation by Helen Keller who was once asked whether she considered blindness or deafness to be the more significant handicap. She responded, "Blindness is a barrier between people and things. Deafness is a barrier between people and people." I believe that the section on how to accommodate veterans in academia should be expanded.

It was interesting to know that "emotional support animals" are not included into the category of "service animals". Also, I would challenge the statement regarding the excess of accommodations to one student with disability and the right of the institution to refuse access to another with an identical case.
