[quote=Anonymous]This is a huge problem. I worked at a university and one of my jobs was dealing with accommodation requests. We received a significant number of requests that were highly suspect. But we almost never rejected the request (assuming they had the minimal paperwork) and it was even rare for us to ask for a neutral evaluation. It just wasn't worth it. We would incur significant expenses and hassle and invite the prospect of a lawsuit. We all recognize the problem on a macro level that it creates a tremendous incentive to cheat and that it was unfair to others, but on a micro level we couldn't justify disputing all but the most egregious cases. (To be clear, some of the increase is better diagnosis, but a lot of it isn't.) [/quote]
