Disability Accommodations Soar at the Most Prestigious US Universities

Wow! Purdue’s Disability Resource Services lists 8.6% of the student population registered with them, and only half that % have any kind of test accommodations.

38% seems high to me but I remember reading that private schools have a much higher percentage of kids with accommodations.

I wonder if there is some self selection happening in that schools that offer strong support accommodations end up getting more applicants and enrollees that need those services.
