Rebecca Cokley, director of the Disability Justice Initiative, writes that students with disabilities could face difficulty in securing accommodations in the wake of the FBI investigation that uncovered wealthy students faking learning disabilities as one way to game the college admissions system. She worries that future students may decline to request accommodations to avoid looking like fakers and that educators may impose more stringent qualifications for accommodations, causing costs to rise.
