A Professor Told Me His Class Wasn’t For Me Because Of My Disability

I’m a senior at Texas A&M. I’m one of very few students there who have a spinal cord injury and cannot use their hands to write. I can however, use either my computer or aid of someone else to write. With this in mind, here’s the story.

On the first day of classes, I make sure that the professors know my abilities and what my disability entails so I can be properly accommodated. One class however, failed to accommodate me. This professor explained that he will be presenting quizzes at the end of each class. These quizzes are closed note, worth 30% of the class grade, and all on paper. I brought the professor to the side and described to him that I unfortunately am unable to write due to my disability and that I will need to be accommodated in order to succeed in his class. He proceeds to say “well this class might not be for you then”. I told him that in the past, when I was given paper quizzes that professors would allow me to take them home where I can complete them on my computer. He then described to me that he won’t let me do that because that then becomes unfair to others because the quizzes are closed note and the moment I take it out of the class, it then becomes open note. We couldn’t come up with a proper accommodation.

I’m speaking with my disability advisor today but the thing that’s been stuck in my head was his sentence stating that his class isn’t for me due to my disability. Is this a violation of my rights? What legal actions could be taken because of this?
