I think this is a wrong appraisal of the story.

This is the first time someone did this, and therefore other people could start to ask for similar accommodations. The idea is important

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.
