Colleges and universities have an obligation to
comply with federal disability laws and to provide reasonable accommodations to
individuals with disabilities, whether they be students, employees, or campus
visitors. It is therefore essential for university counsel and other
administrators responsible for accessibility support services to develop a
thorough understanding of the principles and processes involved in this area of
the law in order to understand and address the different challenges that may present
in a higher education setting. What constitutes a “fundamental alteration” to
an academic program? What steps should an institution take to ensure that its
public-facing websites are available to all? And how should an institution
assess whether its buildings can be reached through accessible routes?
Adherence to federal disability law is also a
critical factor in providing and maintaining an accessible and inclusive
environment where persons with disabilities and those without are provided
equal opportunities to meaningfully participate in educational activities and
campus life.
