When considering requests for remote participation and other accommodations that might fundamentally alter the educational program in some way, a school must first determine who will be part of the decision-making and what factors will receive primary consideration, well before reaching any reasoned conclusions. This panel will address questions such as: How can schools determine whether, and which, classes must be taught in-person and which students, if any, might receive a waiver from such requirements? What campus entities should be involved in those discussions? What role does the disability office have? Are these considerations different now than they were pre-pandemic, and if so, how? This panel will talk through the legal obligations and the philosophical approaches that schools should be weighing when making these “big picture” decisions.

Originally presented May 25, 2021 by Jamie Axelrod, Paul Grossman, Jane Jarrow, L. Scott Lissner and Michael Masinter.
