Acknowledging the deficits is certainly the most direct way to approach this, but it may not be received very well. Faculty may become defensive if they feel you are only seeing the mistakes they have made. You don't want to get their backs up and have them defending the wrong thing just out of principle. I think I might approach things by saying, "I was looking over your technical standards. I'm concerned about how to explain some of the pieces with students who inquire about admission to your program. It seems to me that there are some barriers there to inclusion -- and I know you want to open up the possibility for as many students as possible. Can we talk?" You get more flies with honey... GRIN
