Topic: Eight incoming CU students are blind
1) Feature story. Run the standard feature piece on one of the eight students highlighting their struggles and pasts. Were they born blind? Why did they choose CU? Etc...
2) Students with disabilities studying away from home. It must be very difficult for students with disabilities to move away from home and often the constant care that they find there. How does their transition affect their day-to-day lives on a campus as big as CU?
3) Is the campus up to par? My involvement with the CU student government illustrates the difficulties people with disabilities face on campus. Boulder is not necessarily the most accessible campus in the world. How do students cope with that?
4) To branch off of number 3, what is the administration doing to help alleviate these concerns for disabled students? Does CU even meet common standards for accessibility on campus?
5) How do blind students study? Its the question everybody wonders, but no one wants to ask. How do these students succeed in their classes? How do they study? Take notes? Read powerpoints? Do these difficulties affect their graduation dates?

Research Questions:
1. How many college students (number and percentage) are blind?
2. Is CU in compliance with accessibility standards? How or how not?
3. How many disabled students has CU hosted in each of the past 20 years?
4. What is the national graduation rate (and length of term) for disabled students?
5. What resources does CU provide for disable community members?
