You can't separate this from the Atlantic article claiming their are too many students with disabilities. It's a moral panic meant to push out young people with disabilities from access to resources and to reify ableist bigotry. It's exactly what they did to trans people.

One of the biggest impacts I’ve seen from the unproven idea that people are wrongfully using disability accommodations is that people stop trusting people with disabilities and in fact further restrict, remove, and demonize accommodations for people with disabilities in general

The Society for Disability Studies invites members to apply to serve on the 2026 Awards Review Committees. These committees help recognize outstanding contributions to #DisabilityStudies in research, mentorship, creative work, and service. Applications are due 15 Dec.
