With access to the faculty of UT Law School, who do they hire as their legal advisers?Dear UT Lawyers:

That's not how the ADA works.
1. If I can make a "reasonable accommodation" for the visibly ill student, I'm not violating the ADA.
2. Even if I can't, the ADA allows for the removal of a student who poses a "direct threat to the health or safety of others." https://t.co/GtissQUBnt
Because if Professor Vladeck is accurately quoting the ADA (and why wouldn’t he?), what’s the explanation for this opinion?
Is UT afraid of being sued in this climate? Really? ‘Cause I’m pretty sure I can remove a student who is disrupting my class. I’ve had students receiving special accommodations under ADA, but those students weren’t coughing and sneezing and otherwise preventing class from being held.
Just as a teacher I don’t see how ADA gives a coughing student the privilege to disturb the rest of us. And then there’s the professor’s analysis.
So it’s three of us.This seems…completely and utterly insane. That’s my legal analysis. https://t.co/SWyyiCd2ff

If only UT had put this on Twitter, it could be submitted to Bad Legal Takes.
