Dude.
The state has proposed cutting NDSU's budget by as much as 26.5%. How the hell could that happen and enrollment increase by 20%?

I posted that comment back in September of 2016.
Today with the budget news, that enrollment goal is obviously one of the least concerns. Much bigger fish to fry.

OCR obviously knows the in's and out's of what is a reasonable accommodation and what is not. Just because an allegation is made, that does not mean it is valid. We shall see how this turns out.

Hopefully NDSU administration documented everything in this case. This girl doesn't have the maturity or ambition to make it through NDSU's pharmacy program, and hopefully that comes out. And no, I'm not making assumptions, I have some knowledge of the situation.

The Forum mentions that NDSU claims they made the change due to new accreditation requirements. You'd think journalists would be able to easily verify that one way or the other. Unless it doesn't fit their sensationalist agenda, that is.
I don't know much about the case, but I'm very skeptical that having somebody else perform curriculum tasks for you is a "reasonable" accommodation or something that would translate to a real job.

Don't care.
I see a zombie, I shoot it in the head.

Re: 2016 enrollment numbers
Here's an IDEA FUND NDSU at other ND Colleges same level!
when dunbar hall is gonna blow up and Gate City Bank is sponsoring/paying for Stevens Auditorium..... there wont be money left for reconfiguring the pharmacy dept. sorry, this is on the NDUS and SBOHE, not NDSU

That was our thought around the work lunch table yesterday. Someone brought up being a surgeon: you may have the knowledge of what to do, but you also must be able to physically manipulate a scalpel. Some jobs have fundamental physical requirements that cannot be accommodated.
Re: 2016 enrollment numbers
I will comment on this as a practicing pharmacist only, not knowing any specifics of this case.
The primary areas of pharmacy practice are community/retail pharmacy (what most think of with pharmacists), hospital (much more a day to day dispensing and collaborating with medical/nursing staff to care for patients), and clinical roles (usually managing drugs/diseases under protocol; this is what I do). For each you would need (bare minimums physical skills off the top of my head):
1. For community, you have to be able to physically manipulate items with your hands. You also need key boarding skills and ability to make/receive phone calls. You also need to be able to effectively communicate with patients.
2. For hospital, probably very similar to number 1.
3. For clinical roles, really more about key boarding and interacting/communicating with other health professionals and patients. You also need to be able to do this efficiently.
So, again, I know nothing of the case, but I hope all can appreciate it would be challenge for some with physical disabilities as many of these are hard to accommodate even with modern technology.
just my two cents
