Re: JAWS and Blackboard follow-up Adrian Spratt #85962 I’ve long since graduated from university. However, as an alum of two places, I’ve gone straight to the web designers when encountering problems on their websites. In my experience, they tend to be interested in solving accessibility issues. So two thoughts. First, if you can determine the people who design your university website, try them. Second, if you happen to know an alum who would respect the difficulty you’re having, maybe ask them to intervene on your behalf. Universities tend to respond to alum concerns because any money they give them is given purely voluntarily. toggle quoted messageShow quoted text From: main@jfw.groups.io <main@jfw.groups.io> On Behalf Of HH.

In the same context menu as move, you will find some thing labeled junk (I apologize that I do not know the shortcut keys). Once you highlight junk press enter. I believe four options will appear and what you want is to select never block sender‘s domain. A dialog box will appear and all you will need to do is tap through it until you select OK. At that point all groups that I owe should stay in your inbox instead of going to the junk email folder. The other issue could be your own Internet service provider.

Re: JAWS and Blackboard follow-up Kelly Pierce #85956 First, disability student services offices provide services. They do not make software decisions for a university nor do they respond to civil rights complaints. You need to file a written complaint of disability discrimination with the university office that handles such complaints. The university needs to find a means of effective communication that enables you to have the same level of access to the information other students have, weather Blackboard is recoded or other measures are taken. I will not go into the legal technicalities here. If you have not joined the National Federation of the Blind, they will welcome your membership and be happy to help with your situation. I am an NFB member in Illinois and we regularly receive situations like this.
