A new settlement agreement with Lesley University, in Cambridge, Massachusetts, has been added to www.ADA.gov. The agreement concerns reasonable modifications to Lesley's food services for students with celiac disease and food allergies. Among other things, the agreement requires modification to Lesley's policies and practices to enable easy access to gluten and allergen free food options in its cafeteria, maintenance of a dedicated space for students with food allergies to store and prepare foods, training, and, where necessary, a process to permit on-campus students to be excepted from the meal plan, and the payment of compensatory damages.
