The Americans with Disabilities Act was enacted in 1990, and U.S. Department of Justice regulations went into effect in 1992. Since then, there has been one substantive amendment to the statute, the Americans with Disabilities Act Amendments of 2008 and a few new DOJ regulations. The Rehabilitation Act is even older, having been enacted in 1973. Section 504 regulations were initially promulgated in 1977. Most amendments to the Rehabilitation Act date back to the 1980s. So now might be the time to look at the ADA and the Rehabilitation Act to determine what amendments, if any, would help ensure students and employees with disabilities have meaningful access to postsecondary educational institutions.
