Emmons v. City University of New York, (E.D.N.Y.)
An instructor failed to establish that she had a “disability” under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) or the Rehabilitation Act, precluding her discrimination claims against a university’s research foundation and several of its employees. The instructor did not allege any substantial physical limitations and was cleared to return to work only two months after her car accident. Further, she contradicted herself by arguing that the defendants regarded her as disabled and that the defendants doubted that her injuries were more than minor.
