> the current language of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) allows students to get expansive accommodations with little more than a doctor's note.

Isn't that... good? What else would be expected if you have a disability, and need accomodations?

It is probably not good if nearly half (38% qualifies as nearly half, right?) of students are considered disabled and needing accommodations, right?

Surely nearly half of any given public population can't be disabled?

Most everyone has some disability or other. Just because you may work around it or not think of it that way, doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist.

My point is that a disability you can simply "work around" isn't really much of a disability, is it?
