My College Club Is Inaccessible

Q: A club at my college is on a second floor with no elevator. We offered the club a space that was accessible. They stated that it was not required as they are not a public entity. Is this true?

A: Typically, clubs are registered student organizations that must follow rules set by the college. Therefore, if the college is a public entitiy (most are), the college is responsible for ensuring that clubs be accessible. An exception is if the college is a religious college that accepts no Federal funding.
