[This is from the Blink Talk Conference]

I attend Boston College.
The tuition is about $20 thousand per year, and they
don't give you much help.
It's definetely a private institution.
Basically, in terms of the brailling, the
Coordinator Of Services For Physically Challenged Students told
the administration that they had to pay under federal rules, and
the ADA, and that if they didn't pay that the school could be
subject to lawsuits, and withdrawal of federal funding.  They
agreed to pay.  The coordinator also contacted other academic
institutions to ask persons in his position if they felt that
braille was a reasonable accomodation, and they told him they
believed it was.  Therefore, he included this in his
correspondents with the administration.
