Alhidir v. Loa Angles Community College District
Plaintiff and appellant Wail Alhidir, a blind student enrolled at Los Angeles City College (LACC), a community college within the Los Angeles Community College District (respondent), filed a complaint against respondent alleging disability discrimination under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), section 504 of the 1973 Rehabilitation Ac, and the Unruh Act (Civ. Code, § 51). His claims involved LACC’s alleged failure to accommodate his disability in three areas: auxiliary classroom aids, emergency plans, and physical barriers. The trial court bifurcated appellant’s equitable claim for injunctive relief from his request for damages. Following a bench trial, the trial court concluded that appellant’s evidence failed to prove a failure of accommodation under the ADA, Rehabilitation Act, and Unruh Act, and entered judgment in favor of LACC.
