^^ Well that’s a muddled statement. The ADA is an ACT of congress, not something established by the Supreme Court. The Act requires certain businesses (and would include colleges) to make certain accommodations if they are necessary to let a person with a disability participate in a ‘life activity’ such as college. It does not require a college to just allow the person to have an exception because of a disability. In this case, the accommodation might be to allow the student to eat 6 meals rather than 3, to have food in her room if that wasn’t normally allowed, to allow her to weigh in at 10 am even if everyone else had to weigh in at 6 am. Accommodations, not exceptions.
