Yeah, I ended up emailing him something. He welcomed my message and said he appreciated it. He reassured me that this won't impact our relationship or interfere with how we end it, which wasn't consciously on my mind, but it was nice to have that reassurance anyway.

I don’t know whether to laugh, cry, or punch something.
Disability stuff again. 2 of my classes are remote this spring (ironically, including the great plagues one) but the third is small and I thought I’d teach that in person provided the university buys me clear masks so I can understand the students better. Okay, so I contact the ADA office. They eventually come back with no can do, the students who will wear the clear masks must request them. But to request them, the students must be registered with the school as having a proven hearing disability. Which of course none of them do. So, no masks. (I’m sure this is legal somehow. But it sure isn’t moral.) Turn to chiding chair to see if she can do anything. She offers to buy the masks from the department budget, what kind? Send her the link to the kind my audiologist recommends and that my family uses and likes. $110 total for 10. She comes back with a bunch of Amazon links for cheaper masks. All to save fifty freaking dollars. So, I am worth $60. Like I said, don’t know whether to laugh or cry or punch something. |

Basically, I have been indirectly repeatedly told by my school that as a faculty member I am not supposed to have a disability and that I am not worth accommodations. The chair thing is minor compared to that, but par for the course. (At least she thinks I’m worth $60, the school doesn’t even think that.) I have been contacting lawyers I know in the area to find someone who specializes in ADA law to consult with, and I am considering filing an EEOC complaint. Maybe I won’t do it. But I’ve spent my entire life being told in various ways that I am lesser because of my hearing, and to have it come from an employer I work my *** off for and who is bound by certain laws is unacceptable. My feelings are not going to be brushed away by platitudes, unfortunately. At least Info will get business out of it, I’ve already contacted her for an appointment. |

For what it's worth, if I knew you IRL, I wouldn't think you were lesser because you have hearing deficits.
One of my fondest memories from childhood is attending 5th grade at the local magnet school where the deaf and hearing impaired kids went. We had a joint choir where we learned sign language and sang and signed at the same time. It was really fun. |
