This document presents survey questions concerning rights of students with disabilities in postsecondary education and the responsibilities and rights of faculty and staff. The survey is intended to provide necessary information about disability laws and recent legal decisions to faculty and staff in the context of increasing enrollment of postsecondary students with disabilities and the increasing demands of these students on faculty to provide accommodations. The 26-item survey identifies the correct responses (from yes/no choices), provides a rationale for each correct response, and offers one or more references. The survey addresses: Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973; the Americans with Disabilities Act; suitable accommodations and limitations on required accommodations; testing accommodations; liability of the individual faculty member; faculty responsibility and academic freedom; grievance procedures; and specific accommodations for individuals with mobility impairments, visual impairments, and learning disabilities. (Contains 16 references.) (DB)
