Cornell will roll out some of its first American Sign language courses — to be taught by newly-hired Prof. Brenda Schertz, American Sign Language at the University of Rochester — in fall 2019.
“I think it’s been a really long journey for all of us,” founding member of Cornell University Deaf Awareness Project Jackie Rachaf ’14 told The Sun.
Pepinsky explained that the committee’s new recommendations did make some “compromises” in an effort not to “disproportionately burden” students with heavy course loads.
“If more people on campus were exposed to ASL, [a deaf individual] would feel more welcome here and less of an outsider,” Remi said.
