According to the framers of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), “Barriers to employment, transportation, public accommodations, public services, and telecommunications have imposed staggering economic and social costs on American society and have undermined our well-intentioned efforts to educate, rehabilitate, and employ individuals with disabilities. By breaking down these barriers, the ADA will enable society to benefit from the skills and talents of individuals with disabilities, will allow us all to gain from their increased purchasing power and ability to use it, and will lead to fuller, more productive lives for all Americans.”

All discussions must include at least one reference to course materials and at least two other legal references .

case analysis
Case 1 - Affirmative Action
In Students for Fair Admissions, Inc. v. President and Fellows of Harvard College (2023) , the United States Supreme Court held that the Harvard and university of North Carolina admissions programs which considered race as a factor in admissions violated the equal protection clause of the 14th Amendment. While this opinion specifically addressed college admissions programs, it raises questions which may impact law enforcement affirmative action program. As you analyze this case, please consider any ramifications you see, whether analogous or different for law enforcement programs.
