How is malicious compliance the fault of someone who asks for disability accomodations?

It is unfortunate that the ADA is designed so that the only mechanism of enforcement of disability rights is lawsuits. :-\

Maybe there should be some exceptions around things provided on a "best-effort" basis, if they can be very carefully crafted.

> How accessible is the course now?

Entirely irrelevant.

If a city has a public library, but refuses to build a wheelchair ramp, and an elevator to upper floors, and doesn't provide reasonable alternatives to these deficiencies, they can (and should) get sued. If the city then throws up their hand and says "Too expensive" and shuts down the library (everyone suffers), I will not be siding with the library.
