· I also attached a sample of an advocacy letter of how it’s supposed to look like.

· I already below started the letter I just need it to be cleaned up and formatted and you can add anything that may be needed.

I’m writing to you Dr. Antoine M. Garibaldi the President of University of Detroit Mercy on behalf of myself and anyone on campus with a disability. I begin the Dental Hygiene program at UDM back in 2015 through 2017 and had my disability accommodations which were private room with time and half. Even when I sat for all 4 board exams for the state of Michigan and with documentation, I provided to them allowed me a private room and time and half. When I began nursing school the fall of 2017, I had my accommodations granted. All of sudden in 2019 the month of March my accommodations were revoked right before final exams. The new lady Laura Bagdady that was hired to take Emilie Wetherinton place did not care or show any kind of compassion. Laurie had me run back and forth to my doctor at least 5 times for different paperwork that she could have provided to me all at once, however she broke it up it seems on purpose to have me running around when she knew she had all that paperwork. When I finally provided all the paperwork, she needed both from my physician and my psychologist that I was diagnosed with ADD (Attention Deficit Disorder) and I am on medication. She denied my accommodations after 2 months. I even had instructors in the school that were trying to advocate me and that was still met with a no! I even went as far to talk to the lawyer of the school Pamela Zarkowski and at first she seemed like she wanted to help however after sending all my paperwork into her she got back to me stating, “As you will understand, I leave it to the Ms. Bagdady, Assistant Director of Student Disability and Accessibility Support Services to make determinations about accommodations based on the legal guidelines the university is required to follow.” As the president of the school you should be made of aware of this situation and there are others that were livid due to their accommodations being revoked.
