Yeah, we need to develope more effective ways to combat against any 
backlash.  Let me correct this....it was Shasta College in Redding, 
not Chico.  Unfortunately, for the past one year as a student at Chico 
State University, I have come to realize that Disabled Services are 
having similar problems--money-- which restricts some interpreting 
services.  So, it looks like another case for me to work on next semester 
in my internship at legal center.  Those problems at DS really hurt 
us, the deaf students, because they refused to provide us the interpreters 
for our outside course work--such as workshops or feild trips. Too 
expensive for them, so they say.  Also, one of my instructors told 
me that he heard at the capital, the lawmakers are planning to pass 
a new law which would allow all colleges or universities to refuse 
services if they prove to be overburdened costs. That would be a terrible 
setback to all disabled and hearing impaired students because it would 
mean we will have to put up with their kind of services, not the best 
but just good enough to their point of views.  I will check into this 
and let you know more with details.
