I do fault the Federal government for this increasingly poor employment figure. In general the enforcement of the various laws governing disability discrimination are not enforced, or at best, poorly enforced. As a person with a neurological disability I am growing increasingly frustrated. I am not under-educated in any sense of the term. I have graduate degrees, including doctoral studies.

I studied to become a Director of Disability Services in higher education. I can assure most that for the most part universities are looking for ways to get out from under the Section 504/ADA/ADAA requirements. Many universities hire people to head disability services and disability services staff who are not even remotely qualified to do anything in disability support, and often believe they can tell a student with a disability what is best for them. Increasingly universities are hiring attorneys to head disability services; attorneys that have no qualifications other than being an attorney.

Employers simply do not want employees with a disability. The Federal government being among the worst in the hiring of people with a disability, especially in the professional services jobs. Why would private sector employers hire persons with a disability when the Feds do not do it?
