38% of Stanford undergrads claim a disability; many get extra time on tests
"I have had conversations with people in the Stanford administration. They've talked about at what point can we say no? What if it hits 50 or 60%? At what point do you just say 'We can't do this'?"
"required little"
"distraction free."
The number of college students seeking academic accommodations has surged nationally, with Stanford reporting 38% of undergraduates registered as having a disability and 24% receiving accommodations in one quarter. Harvard reports more than 20% of undergraduates registered as disabled. A 2008 expansion of the legal definition of disability and guidance that emphasized students' own accounts led many schools to relax documentation requirements. A 2013 analysis found most institutions required little beyond a doctor's note for ADHD accommodations. Common accommodations include extra test time, use of assistive technology, and separate low-distraction testing spaces, prompting concerns about capacity and unintended effects.
