I informed the college of the court cases Hillsdale College v. Department of Education (1982) and Grove City College v. Bell (1984), and the basic implications thereof, so things should be fine from here on out. My sister began the complaint process back in May, but may have stopped once we were notified the interpreter would be provided.

ksbsnowowl,

Don't let your sister stop the process, the more complaints against that university, the better. Best hit them in the pocketbook than a deaf person (a visitor, which means a potential student) not being able to know what's going on. Give them a dose of a bruised bank account.
