Ramapo College Providing Critical Disability Support to New Jersey Students

17216059398 034c188d58 o spring

the staff of the Ridgewood blog

Mahwah NJ, colleges and universities have a lawful responsibility to encourage and develop the potential of all students, regardless of disability status. Unfortunately, the vast majority of four year colleges and universities fall short of providing students with disabilities the support they need. Considering that 1 in 5 individuals have a learning disability or attention issue, and many more have physical disabilities or live with the effects of traumatic brain injury and other long-term or permanent disabilities, the lack of support services at four-year colleges does not receive nearly enough attention.

Dear Students and Colleagues:

I write today to advise that after considerable internal planning and review of state, local, and federal guidance and data, the Fall 2020 semester at Ramapo College will feature a combination of limited in-person and remotely delivered instruction as well as modified levels of on-campus activity, residency, and programming.

The Ramapo College Restart Plan (hereafter “the Plan”) has been meticulously developed by a Task Force, numerous subcommittees, and a group of resource personnel. In sum, 48 members of the College, inclusive of faculty, staff, and managers, participated in its development.  We have outlined our return to campus with a phased approach, which is aligned with the three-stage approach communicated by the State of New Jersey.

College professor’s crude comment violated law, state rules

free speech

By Sara Jerde | NJ Advance Media for NJ.com

MAHWAH — The state agreed with Ramapo College that an associate professor violated workplace discrimination laws when she made a crude comment.

The associate professor, identified only by the initials “M.V.” in the state civil service commission’s decision, was accused of calling her colleague a “fat b—-” during a Law and Society Convening Group meeting.

The female professor who made the complaint filed a complaint in 2014, stating that she was subjected to sex and gender discrimination and further retaliation after “M.V.” called her a “bully” and a “tattletale.”

It’s not clear if M.V. has been formally punished for her comments by the college. A college spokeswoman did not immediately have a comment.

An investigation by the college’s Office of Affirmative Action and Workplace Compliance determined that M.V. violated state policy with her crude comment, but that there was nothing to substantiate the claim of retaliation.

The professor who made the complaint argued that her work has been affected because she has not been able to attend the meetings when M.V. is present.

MAHWAH –An American-themed barbecue at Ramapo College last Friday was nearly scrapped after the students’ ‘Uncle Sam’ promotional material wasdeemed “too offensive” and militaristic, according to Campus.org.

“I was told that our advertising was too ‘military and recruitment-oriented,’ because we had the Uncle Sam saying ‘I want you…’,” Ariana Rivera, assistant residence director of Bischoff Hall said in an email to College Republicans and Democrats.

The original proposal nearly a month earlier called for a barbecue encouraging students to register to vote.

Students in the school’s Republican and Democratic organizations agreed to run tables during the Sept. 16 event and get the word out to students that they should vote in the upcoming elections, according to Campus.org.
