The National Federation of the Blind and a blind student who recently
graduated from Mesa Community College, have filed suit against the college and
the Maricopa Community College District, alleging discrimination against the
student and other blind students. The complaint alleges that the blind
student could not register for his classes, complete online courses and
assignments, access student services, or actively participate in his classes
because of inaccessible technology purchased or deployed by the Maricopa
Community College District and Mesa Community College. For more information
about this litigation, please read the
official press release.
