Being Fair with Time

Jeffery,
I buy the first half of your argument, but I'm not so sure about the second half. You are right -- NOT ALL students with disabilities want, need, or should have extended time. It is provided if, and ONLY if, there is a need for more time to assure equal access. As to providing extended time for nondisabled individuals, the faculty member has the option of doing that any time he/she chooses. It has always been that way. But the reasons why nondisabled students might legitimately request and be granted extra time have nothing to do with the legal OBLIGATION to provide it to a student with a disability who will not have equal access without it.
