To walk into the Margaret A.

Staton Georgia State Office of Disability Services and ask to speak with its clients about their disability is the very definition of getting the cold shoulder.

Sure, students were uniformly busy, cramming for tests or writing papers, and doing a whole host of other things one normally does if one wishes to succeed at Georgia State.
