Aleeha Dudley, who is a blind student, has sued Miami University in Ohio, charging it with violating her rights under federal laws to access to educational materials. With support from the National Federation for the Blind, Dudley's suit charges the university with, among other things, failing to provide her books in Braille and with using course management tools that do not give her access to information (as other tools would). Her suit says that her grades suffer as a result, and the federation says that her difficulties are similar to those faced by many blind students. Miami officials have declined to comment on the specifics of the suit, but have denied wrongdoing.
