Masinter Disability Compliance for Higher Education Following the conclusion of pandemic mitigation measures including remote instruction, Bryn Mawr College and other institutions chose to require all students to return to in‐person learning, declining to offer continuing virtual or remote attendance as an alternative form of instruction. A Bryn Mawr student with disabilities was denied remote instruction as a disability accommodation and sued under section 504 and the ADA to compel the university to offer remote instruction as a disability accommodation.
