This isn't the part of the ADA I'm talking about; I'm talking about the part that requires businesses to be accessible to the general public. It shouldn't come to a lawsuit at all, if it's done right. In universities, what the school has to do (at least public universities that take government grants) is adjust its services so that you can be a student. This comes under the same category as the requirement to put wheelchair ramps and automatic doors in supermarkets. In the case of universities, it generally includes things like distraction-free testing rooms, tutoring, and other useful services. Most of the time it's easier for physical disabilities, but people with learning disabilities and PDDs are increasingly going to college, and colleges are learning how to accommodate them.
