In terms of what’s understood to be socially acceptable behavior, normalizing the filming/taking pictures of people in public who are minding their own business (and putting it online) is one of the worst developments of the past 15 years.

If elite schools are finding the individualistic model of disability accommodation too arduous, then:
A. Reduce the bureaucratic burden on students seeking support
B. Train faculty on inclusive pedagogies and meet students’ needs on a group level
Let’s not pretend this is an unsolvable problem.
