Wow. I said as soon as I heard about it that the plan at Mount St Mary's, a Catholic US university, to push out 25 or so of their 1st years who were having difficulty settling (or as their ex-Wall Street President described it, shooting the bunnies) was going to specifically disadvantage disabled students, but it gets worse. The survey they were asked to fill out, and which they were specifically told had no wrong answers, includes a section of questions lifted wholesale from the CES-D depression questionaire, and an outright Do you have a learning disability?
Mount St. Mary’s Ableist Plan To Push Out Vulnerable Students
The disabilty questions can be seen here,
I'd also note that I've filled out the CES-D questionaire as part of my chronic pain treatment, so it's not necessarily just students with MH issues and learning disabilities who could be caught up by it.
And I'm pretty horrified to hear there's a religious exclusion in ADA, so it's a 1973 Act it's likely in breach of.
