[Athen] stolen chairs

[Thompson, Rachel]

We have largish (8” wide) stickers on our tables and chairs that identify them as reserved for persons with disabilities. Since starting that, we have not had issues with people removing the tables and chairs intended for persons with disabilities. Our biggest challenge is faculty members moving the tables so they have more “desk space” at the front of the room. So, when possible, we added an instructor table next to the multimedia podium. That seems to have solved our problem.

I had no idea people were actually using locks!  I will look into tiles or RFIDs.  I guess I assumed wrongly they were more prevalently used in this group.  I think someone talked about using them at Accessing Higher Ground a couple of years back.  I’ll have to research my notes.

If you do use the bike chain, please be careful about how you do it to not get in the way for transfers (remembering people transfer in different ways from different sides and angles) or from removing the chair from the table to use a wheelchair at the table.

I think some sort of electronic tagging system may be the way to go.  People just don’t think.

Subject: [Athen] stolen chairs

We are at our wits end with having our accommodation chairs getting moved and stolen from classrooms where they are needed.   We are seriously considering getting an RFID system put in place and tagging each chair.  If anyone is doing this, could you please reach out to me?  Thank you so much.
