Curious to hear from ADA experts and disability advocates about how reasonable and effective it is to rely on individual ADA accommodations to protect medically vulnerable people otherwise forced to return to work on college campuses. @sbagen @DisVisibility @maria_m_town
Specifically: is the ADA set up to protect medically vulnerable people? What institutional conditions need to be in place (can student access services adequately protect faculty and staff)? Also keeping in mind that everyone else will be asked to sign medical liability waivers.
It strikes me that if qualifying as a Qualified Individual with Disability under the ADA is the gateway to accommodations, and ADA accomms’ reasonableness is an economic question, a lot of disabled people are going to be sacrificed for university economics.
