The National Federation of the Blind and a blind student who recently graduated from Mesa Community College, have filed suit against the college and the Maricopa Community College District, alleging discrimination against the student and other blind students. The complaint alleges that the blind student could not register for his classes, complete online courses and assignments, access student services, or actively participate in his classes because of inaccessible technology purchased or deployed by the Maricopa Community College District and Mesa Community College. For more information about this litigation, please read the official press release.
