Abstract
A recent opinion column (https://bit.ly/3CkXz7a) in The Chronicle of Higher Education argued that schools too readily assign extended testing time as a disability accommodation, often in the absence of documentation of any impairment, based only on self-reports of exam difficulty. The article contains some potentially uncomfortable truths that have been with us since the adoption of the AHEAD guidance.
