US college students and/or their DS offices might find the linked article a 
good reminder. It describes the 2012 settlement of a lawsuit by two blind 
students at Florida State University who had claimed lack of reasonable 
accommodation. NFB assisted in the lawsuit. "Without admitting liability or 
wrongdoing, the university has agreed to pay each of the students $75,000 in 
settlement of their claims and to continue its efforts to make courses 
accessible to all students."
