I kind of feel like this is a non-story. The ask was small and reasonable. It was easy enough to grant the accommodation and avoid a confrontation. HR in companies does this all the time.

I don’t actually think it’s the first time. I recall seeing articles like this in college. A lot of groups love to do victory laps before they’ve ever gotten to the field.
It’s like every article that says a judge blocked X, Y, or Z but the decision is overturned on appeal two days later.
One college granted a trivial accommodation with no government review or legal analysis. They did not make any policy changes.
I think the college made the right decision. It’s easier to grant it than to try to figure out if it’s legally justified.
I guess my take is they didn’t prove anything and they’re trying to make everyone think they did.
This is the first time someone did this, and therefore other people could start to ask for similar accommodations. The idea is important
