Student Housing
John - is there a reason why the student has to live in the dormitories. It would seem to be a reasonable accomodation for him to live in an apartment off campus - thus providing the privacy which he needs for his medical condition. I don't believe that NAU has a requirement that juniors live in the dormitories.
If he is wanting to live in the dormitories because he does not want to have to worry about meals, then the reasonable accomodation is to pay for the meal plan and live off campus. Money does not appear to be the issue.
If his condition is such that he can live off campus, then I don't think that NAU has to provide him with a single room.
Why aren't the student and his parents engaged in a discussion with the University? That is their obligation.
