Hour 2: The Surge in Campus Accommodations | Diana Colleen on Power, Ethics & Extraordinary Abilities

View descriptionShare

The hour opens with an examination of the explosive rise in disability accommodations on college campuses — especially elite ones — where registration rates have surged to levels with “no historical parallel,” driven largely by mental‑health diagnoses and easier access to private evaluations. While some of this reflects overdue support, the system is increasingly strained, inequitable, and vulnerable to strategic use, raising the looming question of what happens “if it hits 50 or 60 percent.”  The show wraps with an interview featuring Diana Colleen, a novelist whose work blends moral tension with imaginative, reality‑bending storytelling. Her book They Could Be Saviors explores what occurs when extraordinary abilities collide with the fragile ethics of being human.
