It may be all in the wording. By inquiring by email, you have a digital record and can request someone from higher up the chain and remind them of the ADA laws.
Why put yourself through this though when TESU has already said they will adjust your course requirements due to your hearing impairment? Public Speaking is going to be more writing and I know how much fun you had writing the papers for English.
TESU said they would accommodate it but have yet to update it in my evaluation for an alternative:
Their ADA office isn't responding to emails right now. So I figured if I have Sophia to see if I can get the touchstone part waived. I don't mind writing papers if I get a good grader who will give actual feedback.
I just got a message back from Sophia.
They changed their mind and will allow Sign Language/Or other means of Non-Verbal Communication to be in the video, and pay for an interpreter themselves.
