Dear Colleague:
Because Georgia Southern University is dedicated to the equality of
educational opportunity, it is strongly committed to the creation of a
campus environment, free of discrimination and bias in matters affecting
people with disabilities. I encourage all faculty to assist those with
disabilities in enjoying the same facilities, programs and services that
others enjoy.
This Faculty Guide has been published to help you learn more about working
with students who have disabilities, including their responsibility to
communicate with you their special requirements. It will also direct you to
support services available to you and the student.
By knowing more about the special challenges our students with
disabilities face, we can better meet their educational needs, and ensure
they have every opportunity to learn and benefit from the rich academic
environment of Georgia Southern.
Sincerely,
Nicholas L. Henry, President
