How courts have described this case

  • rejecting the defendant’s timeliness argument because;the final dismissal decision took place after the decision-maker had been informed about the plaintiffs condition and accommodation request
  • notice timely where plaintiff submitted medical evidence of his condition after the committee made its dismissal recommendation but before the dean acted on it
  • “The doctrine does not apply to plaintiffs who, through no fault of their own, have not yet had a chance to get the modifications they need.”
  • where plaintiff sought only injunctive relief, the court held where “the institution, not the individuals, has the power to accommodate, only an injunction directed at the institution will provide the relief sought.”
