The only reason I suspect legal issues came up is because those foreign language classes have NO accommodations. If you have a disability of any kind, it doesn’t matter, no accommodations are offered. You either convince them to give you the waiver or you take the courses with zero accommodations regardless of the disability, they offer no middle ground. I have nerve abnormalities in my arms and can’t hold a pencil and couldn’t even get them to allow me to use a computer or scribe. Thankfully my professor is letting me do it anyway, but it’s technically not sanctioned by the department. Their attitude is that they do not deal with disabilities, if you need accommodations you had best petition for a waiver and not take the classes. Which, as instructed, I tried to do but they won’t give me accommodations OR the waiver. I prefer accommodations and that was what I requested in my original petition but it was no good. I don’t know anything about the legal aspects of this but it does seem strange that they’d be allowed to do that. But I have no money to pay a lawyer anyway, so that’s probably a moot point.

I have heard that about the LSAC and thankfully shouldn’t need any accommodations for the LSAT. I chose poli sci and law for a reason. :)
