BOSTON (AP) — Boston College has become more difficult to navigate for people with disabilities in recent years, according to former and current students whose complaints have prompted an investigation into whether the school is violating accessibility laws.
Students said in a complaint to the U.S. Education Department’s Office for Civil Rights that problem spots, including routes that lead only to stairs and doors that don’t have automatic openers, force people with disabilities to travel longer routes or navigate through a maze of building hallways and elevators to get across campus.

The inquiry is also exploring whether administrators discriminated against people with disabilities by taking improper steps to address accessibility issues.
