Discrimination in Education Prohibited It is an "unfair discriminatory practice" to inhibit a person's full utilization of or benefit from an educational institution because they are disabled. In addition, an educational institution must ensure that a disabled individual has physical and program access meaning that the institution could provide "taped texts, interpreters or other methods of making orally delivered materials available, readers in the libraries, adapted classroom equipment and similar auxiliary aids or services." This does not include providing services or goods that are for individual/personal use such as "attendants, individually prescribed devices, and readers for personal use or study." MN Statute 363A.13
