Bryn Mawr Faces Lawsuit for Discrimination Against Students with “Invisible” Disabilities

Six students have filed a lawsuit against Bryn Mawr College, stating that the administration had “deliberate indifference to the needs of students with disabilities, in particular ‘invisible’ disabilities.” The suit, which was filed on May 5, names Bryn Mawr’s previous director of Access Services Deborah Alder for failing to offer proper accommodations for students, saying her choices were “arbitrary and inscrutable.”

The lawsuit describes the buildings on campus, specifically Taylor Hall, Pembroke Hall and Merion, as being entirely inaccessible to disabled students and states that the college “does very little to assist disabled students with transportation from dorms to classes on the spread out campus.”
