Cal Poly Pomona student says her accommodations were allegedly denied: ‘Prove you have brain damage’

On their website, California State Polytechnic University, Pomona offers a long list of support for its disabled students. However, according to one student, the promises aren’t always delivered. Lani (lanoexe) recently took to her socials in tears when she found that all her accommodation requests had been denied. The post on Instagram and TikTok went on to get over 1.1 million views in just a day

The Los Angeles resident explained that she has been disabled since she had a stroke and a traumatic brain injury at age 10. Since then, she has lived with memory issues, depression, and motor skills challenges. She noted in her caption, “I’m so disappointed.” In her video, she said, “Imma end my sh*t right now. I just got my disability accommodations denied by my university. That’s supposedly a really inclusive campus, so I’m gonna do my makeup to f**king cope with it.”
