If certified interpreters are the only service that will accommodate the hearing impaired in specific situations, then they have to be provided. But if the provider (ie the LLC in this case) does not like having to pay for them, then they would have to prove an undue financial hardship and/or prove that there are more economical ways that will accommodate just as well.. |

Is it a fact there will be "a new LLC?" I must have missed that. |

This is my guess too.

The more militant Deaf do not appreciate being called hearing impaired because they do not consider their deafness to be a condition but a culture. Last edited by EPutnam1863; 03-19-2017 at 11:59 AM. |

Has there been any development with respect to the new LLC? I haven't seen anything.

No unless it is the only reasonable accommodation that will meet the deaf's needs and/or wants.

NEEDS and WANTS are two vastly different things, don't you agree?

For example, one plaintiff wanted to take that class in History of WW II. He could have used the computer or gone to the library instead. A class addressing medical issues may be different. No interpreting would be necessary in some art classes as long as the teacher would be willing to spend just a few minutes face-to-face with the deaf student who after all has to keep his eyes on the paper. That is what my college instructors did with me back in those days when there was no such thing as interpreting in classes. It takes both sides to compromise. That would have been my mantra all along...compromise, compromise, compromise. However under the ADA the deaf has the right to request such services in a "fun" class if they are offered to anyone else. If I lived in TV, I would have requested a volunteer position as an ombudsperson between the LLC and the deaf students. This is where TV made its mistake - not having an ombudsperson. Randy McDaniel and Janet Tutt might have meant well, but they had no expertise in this area. Last edited by EPutnam1863; 03-20-2017 at 05:57 PM. |

Today the Plaintiffs filed a motion for extension of time so to have more time to prepare documents justifying their request that the Defendants pay approximately $3M for attorneys' fees, etc. The Judge granted the motion.
Later today the Defendants filed a motion for judgement as a matter of law. They also filed a motion to have a new trial if their first motion should be denied. For more information, see Login to PacerMonitor |

Judgment as a matter of law (JMOL) is a motion made by a party, during trial, claiming the opposing party has insufficient evidence to reasonably support its case. JMOL is also known as a directed verdict, which it has replaced in American federal courts.

While I support the plaintiffs' rights to reasonable accommodations under law, I support the defendants' theory that there is insufficient evidence presented by the plaintiffs on most of the issues. |
