The ADA prohibits discrimination against individuals with disabilities by public accommodations, including colleges and universities. Under the ADA, a disability is any mental or physical impairment that substantially limits a major life activity, and the ADA includes a wide range of major life activities – including eating – and the operation of major bodily functions, like the immune system. The ADA requires colleges and universities to reasonably modify their policies, practices or procedures when necessary to avoid disability discrimination, unless such entities can demonstrate that the modifications being sought would fundamentally alter the nature of the goods and services of the university.
