Also does she really not have any accommodations registered with the disability access office? If true, that’s hilarious. Imagine having your thing be “brave little cripple in a big cruel world” to the point where you’re in a wheelchair and you still don’t have official educational accommodations. Physically disabled students need those for extra time getting to class, leniency with attendance, etc, and there is absolutely no way a wheelchair using undergraduate at New York University would be left to fend for themselves to this extent. It’s a bad look for the school, and any disabled student in higher education knows that’s the first thing you set up in order not to fuck yourself over. Disability services there could refer her somewhere in network to get in-home services set up if her plight was legitimate, which of course it’s not. She’s not facing barriers as a disabled student, she’s facing barriers as a complete leech whose options are slowly but surely dwindling as she continues to alienate anyone and everyone with enough sense to tell her to stop destroying her body with prednisone. I do wonder how long the Bank of NYU saga will last.
I'm sure she does. However, there's a fine line between a student who may need accommodations to succeed and a student that
has those accommodations and is
not succeeding. Victoria has already flunked out once; it appears that she's been cleared to return to school and has received her financial support, but, judging by her posts, she's still not attending class regularly and is using stupid excuses not to do required class activities. (There's also some administrative/professorial discretion -- for instance, if a student who was registered for a class that meets in person wanted to attend only virtually through Zoom, that might not be a
reasonable accommodation, which is all the law requires.) In a case like hers, I am sure advising and administration are involved and monitoring her progress. I'm sure they've referred her to outside support services, but those services move on their own time and make their own judgements about what to provide for her, if anything. At school, Victoria's professors would be required to and/or encouraged to help her out as much as is reasonably possible, but part of her deal with the school is that she's expected to make satisfactory academic progress -- meaning, she's attending class as regularly as possible, turning in her work, showing up for exams, and keeping her grades up.
tl;dr truly disabled people want to be treated like everyone else, in general, and will know enough to plan their goals around their disabilities. There are loads of seriously sick and disabled people who earn college degrees, hold down good jobs, and are successful people.
Honestly, it takes a lot nowadays for a student to flunk out of school. Colleges and universities bend over backwards to accommodate students because they badly need the tuition revenue: the birth rate is way down, and fewer young people are choosing to go to college.
