[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wow. When everyone gets accommodations, no one gets accommodations.[/quote]

Should only people in wheelchairs get to use ramps/curb cut outs, or is it okay with you that it also benefits a parent pushing a stroller, delivery person using a dolly, student rolling luggage, etc?[/quote]

If everyone uses the handicapped table or bathroom stall because they feel equally entitled to use it as the person in the wheelchair, this is not okay. If a parent parks in a handicapped space just because they have lot of kids and a stroller to load and offload, this is not okay. If pre-boarding flights becomes non-existent thing because the majority of people get permission to pre-board a flight, who do you think this hurts the most?

A bunch of kids taking up single dorms just because they figured out a way to exaggerate a sob story actively hurts the person who actually needs a single dorm for a disability. If the school creates more singles to suit everyone who wants one, this cuts in half the number of students they can accommodate on campus. The fraudulent use of disability services also costs the school money and drives up tuition costs for everyone.
