Disability discrimination law applies to the services, including educational services, an institution provides to its staff, students, and third parties. The law is framed in general terms and is not intended to prevent or place barriers in the way of innovative use of technology. Reasonable adjustments should be made wherever possible and to prevent substantial disadvantage. The Disability Equality Duty reinforces the expectation and requirement that colleges and universities should be anticipatory and proactive in encouraging disabled persons to participate in tertiary education activities. Disability discrimination law applies to colleges and universities as service providers, employers and educational service providers.
