Indoctrination into ASL at Gallaudet University

Many new students arriving at Gallaudet University attend the New Signers Program where for four weeks prior to the beginning of classes they learn only ASL and not PSE or SEE. They do not have that choice since Gallaudet University does not offer those choices to begin with. Even though it is well known that many professors, incidentally hearing, tend to sign more of a PSE signing than ASL. But still soon-to-be professors or teachers must pass the ASL-equivalency skill test before they can teach at Gallaudet University. Suppose a student wish to continue using SEE because of the continued use of correct grammatical English order whether it comes down to signing, speaking or writing English and do not want to learn ASL? What legal grounds can SEE, CUED, SimCom, non-ASL users have in the classes of Gallaudet University should Gallaudet University refuse such accomodations? Just thinking outloud here.

Deaf or hard of hearing students who are unfamiliar with sign language do not have to use sign language but can request note-takers, CART, or oral translators (e.g. CUED speech or verbal) according to the ADA law regarding equal access for students with disabilities. Unless they have thick skins and have the gumptions to take on the derisiveness from students and staffs, they can legally choose that route in classes at Gallaudet University, or elsewhere such as NTID. It's no different than requesting the same support mechanism in other universities or colleges. Why should it be different at Gallaudet University?

Students should have the right to decide which communication route they'd prefer and not be left with only one option...ASL. Bottom line is that there should be a choice. If a deaf or hard of hearing student chooses ASL, all the kudos for him. However, if not, and want to continue, for example, using SEE then he should have that right. Gallaudet University should make every efforts to accomodate his communication needs rather than to try and convert him into signing and learning ASL only. After all, Gallaudet University is a college for deaf and hard of hearing students by catering to their communication needs which are many. It's not about catering to ASL only.
