I've come across plenty of kids without disabilities who don't belong anywhere near a university campus, but admin never seems to have a problem taking their money.

As a stepmother of a young woman with Down syndrome I'm appalled. My stepdaughter had to go through a lot to be included in "regular" classrooms in high school and has often mentioned going to college. I can't imagine what this devastation would do to her.

I remember back in college having class with some college football players who came late, never had their homework and constantly talked-now THAT is a distruption. It doesn't sound like Eliza did ANY of those things and you're right, if the school took her money, then she should get her money's worth or refund it. Does this somehow follow under the ADA act?gvhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17702089938287377034noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1170116880352300881.post-71331214137453623592010-12-14T16:01:02.924-08:002010-12-14T16:01:02.924-08:00Wow!
