Fight Over Interpreters at Utah State University

It's apparently disability law day in Utah (or Utah day at the disabilitylaw blog). See this article, which begins:

Deaf students are threatening to sue Utah State University, claiming a lack of sign-language interpreters limits the classes they can take.

Utah State officials say they are trying to meet the needs of a dozen hearing-impaired students despite a statewide shortage of sign-language interpreters.

Utah has about 200 certified sign-language interpreters and could use another 400, according to the Utah Division of Services to the Deaf and Hard of Hearing.

University officials say they are working to recruit more sign-language interpreters, but senior Jonathan Roberts, 24, of Logan, is tired of excuses.

"They haven't done anything, and it's getting worse," said Roberts, among students who hired Sandy attorney Dale Boam and filed a notice of intent to sue the school.
