Fake disabilities are out of control in higher education

Elite U.S. universities are supposed to educate the best and brightest. But, if smart, ambitious young people know how to do anything, it’s how to exploit a loophole, and they’re apparently doing just that in unimaginable numbers.

That’s the takeaway from a recent bombshell report in the Atlantic, wherein reporter Rose Horowitch reveals a shocking surge in accommodations for “disabilities” among students at elite colleges and universities. According to this report, Brown University and Harvard University have more than 20% of their student body registering as disabled. At Amherst College and Stanford University, the percentages are 34% and 38%, respectively.
