By requiring students to answer questions about their disabilities on their regular application forms — not their ACT Accommodations Request forms — the ACT sells this information to colleges. It costs colleges more money to admit students with disabilities because they have to provide extra services like note-taking, extended time for tests and assignments, special textbooks, and physical items like ramps and safety features for students who are blind, deaf, and/or paraplegics. This is such a violation of civil rights.
Be careful when giving information to any agency that communicates with colleges. Turn the tables to see how a money-making organization like the ACT or SAT might use your information against you. It’s sad that when money is involved, the rules of integrity and ethics are thrown out the window.
