I am a former Hopkins student with disabilities. When my symptoms flared due to the pandemic, Hopkins refused to accommodate me and instead kicked me out - along with 4 other disabled students from the same grad program.

Although I technically received accommodations, it was up to each instructor to decide what was “reasonable.” Unfortunately, one of my instructors was my advisor who tended to see my requests as unreasonable, and communicated with my other instructors.

He kept me under a “Candidate Improvement Plan” due to the symptoms of my disabilities. It stated I could not earn an incomplete — This was used to force me to work with COVID positive clients rather than take time off from my internship.

Meanwhile, there was a policy that applies to non-disabled students granting more flexibility in receiving incompletes. And students in my program were actually banned from working with COVID positive clients. Except for me, due to my disability related CIP.

I then completed my entire internship, and I received an A on my internship evaluation. My JHU internship course instructor (same person as advisor) refused to accept it because site supervisor turned it in slightly late due to pandemic. Advisor failed me in my internship.
