"Too disabled" student sues LSU
BATON ROUGE, LA, March 17, 2003 -- Kenneth Hopkins is an "A" student. The 38-year-old former radio disc jockey, who had become blind three years ago due to diabetes, thought the "Computer Rehabilitation" course would work well for him. The program at Louisiana State University is designed to teach technology and computer skills to disabled students. But on the first day of class, the program's director told Hopkins that he was "too disabled" to be in the program.
