Kaz,
First of all, welcome to alldeaf.com!! 
Secondly, I wrote a report requiring teachers-in-training and colleges/universities to be required to teach them to know how to teach deaf/hoh students. The report was a feasibility study and I believe it would be beneficial for teachers to learn this, instead of learning how to put a condom on a banana (no, that was not added to report...I'm being facetious)  or how to choose only the brightest pupils. Teachers need to learn that students are not "deaf and dumb"  but "deaf and intelligent" instead, as being dumb has nothing to do with being deaf. 
In addition, I still, as a hoh student in a major university with a hearing dog, am aware that other students wish they could bring their dogs from home. When students can get the help they need, then, maybe then, "regular" students can have their pets with them (btw...my hearing dog is NOT a pet).
