The lawsuit, filed in May 2006, was brought by a dozen current and former students, who accused Utah State of violating the Americans With Disabilities Act. They said the university had denied deaf students equal access to educational opportunities, failed to provide services in a timely manner, and discriminated against those students. <br> <br>For more information, please visit: <br><a href="http://chronicle.com/weekly/v53/i41/41a03902.htm " target="blank">chronicle.com/weekly/v53/i41/41a03902.htm </a> <br></font></td> </tr> </table> </td></tr> </table> <script type="text/javascript"></script> <script type="text/javascript" src="<http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show
