| This bill is a concept draft pursuant to Joint Rule 208. This |
| bill proposes to establish alternative admission requirements and |
| criteria for learning disabled students to be used by the |
| University of Maine System by investigating the current methods |
| used and their effect on the admission of learning disabled |
| students. This bill requires the examination of admission rates |
| for learning disabled students and other students with special |
| needs and the examination of the academic support services |
| available to such students. Based upon that examination, this |
| bill requires the creation of evaluations other than grades and |
| standardized testing to be used in determining admission. |
