Colleges and universities have relied on adjunct professors to teach classes. But now, according to a recent article by Jon Marcus in the Washington Post (“More colleges and universities outsources services to for‐profit companies,” Jan. 8, 2021), nonprofit postsecondary institutions are turning to private, for‐profit companies for a variety of educational and noneducational services. But schools need to be aware that they cannot contract away the legal rights of students with disabilities under the Americans with Disabilities Act and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act.
