Facts taken from this source
- Under Section 504, a college that receives federal money must modify its academic requirements where needed so they do not discriminate against students with disabilities.
“A recipient to which this subpart applies shall make such modifications to its academic requirements as are necessary to ensure that such requirements do not discriminate or have the effect of discriminating” (34 CFR 104.44(a))
