Second hand story, but I've corroborated it...

Back in the '90s, when public universities were required to accommodate students with disabilities but the ADA still hadn't been passed yet (and when I wasn't even a student there, on account of being in elementary school), my current university's disability services office was on the second floor of a building with no elevators.

Let me just repeat that, because it deserves repeating. The disability services office... was on the second floor... of a building without elevators. ::gesticulates like Lewis Black::

It was very quickly moved after someone got out of a wheelchair and crawled up the stairs to get to the office.
