Disability Law in Higher Education

Disability law in higher education ensures that students with disabilities have equal access to education and campus services. Under laws like the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act, universities must provide reasonable accommodations, such as extended test times or accessible facilities, to support these students. Institutions are required to create inclusive environments where all students can participate fully in academic programs and activities, fostering equity and preventing discrimination based on disability. This legal framework aims to empower students and enhance their educational experiences.
