TESU Gen Ed: Oral Communication when DEAF

[rachel83az]

Well, we don't know what would have happened if ashkir hadn't had Visual Communications from Sophia. A few I can think of off the top of my head might be:

1. Allowing ashkir to do any presentations in ASL with an interpreter (I remember this was suggested by ashkir to both TESU and Sophia at one point and was deemed unacceptable).
2. Taking a third English/Communication class. UMPI has "PCJ 180: Intro to Professional Communication and Journalism" which looks like it has little, if any, actual oral communication requirement.
3. Using an ASL class from another institution. (I think this would be acceptable in the context of "you can do one of the above OR you can bring us proof of an ASL class.)
4. Waiving the requirement entirely and that credit goes to electives instead.

There are SO MANY paths that TESU could have taken.
