Such BS...how can you do research that doesn't question whether the way accessibility is currently being offered is the problem?

This reads more like "Given that we don't want to follow legal bare minimums, how can we put the onus on disabled people & blame them when they 'fall short' as intended?"

The number of students with disabilities has grown 10 percentage points since 2004 to 21 percent of all learners, with large increases in students who have depression (27 percent); a mental, emotional or psychiatric condition (21 percent); and attention deficit disorder (21 percent), according to a May report from the U.S. Government Accountability Office. However, students with disabilities were less likely to graduate from college than their peers (21 percent, compared to 38 percent) and, among those who did complete, they were less likely to be employed full-time compared to their peers. To better support these learners, researchers conducted interviews with staff in disability services offices, students with disabilities and faculty members to understand the most prevalent barriers to student success and some of the solutions institutions are implementing.
