The authorities of the Republic of Poland, by ratifying the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, have undertaken the responsibility to implement such changes in the national legal order and in social policies that aim at ensuring full and equal enjoyment of all rights and freedoms by people with disabilities and preventing their discrimination in different aspects of life. One of the ways to fulfil this commitment is the ‘reasonable accommodation’. According to Article 2 of the Convention the term means ‘(…) necessary and appropriate modification and adjustments not imposing a disproportionate or undue burden’ and its purpose is to reduce physical, technical or social barriers hindering or restricting the various roles and tasks of those affected by disorders in the structure or functions of the body. The author of this article explored manifestations of such activities in the field of education law and its practical applications. He determined that in the analysed area, many solutions are in line with the spirit of the ‘reasonable accommodation’.

The Article posits that in Jetta Ring i Lone Skouboe Werge (C-335/11 and C-337/11) the CJEU has contributed to further evolution of the protection of persons with disabilities under the EU law and clarified the important difference between disability and illness. Following the UN Convention on Rights of Persons with Disabilities, as ratified by the EU in 2010, it held that disability covers a condition caused by a curable or incurable illness, which entails a long-term limitation in the full and effective participation in professional life on an equal basis with other workers. The limitation as such results from the interaction of human impairments with social barriers. Therefore, the termination of employment due to the employee’s absence from work because of illness may constitute unlawful discrimination based on disability if the employer failed to provide the employee with reasonable accommodation in pursuance to Article 5 of the Framework Directive 2000/78/EC. The Article argues that significant differences in national laws implementing the relevant provisions of the Framework Directive lead to an unequal protection of the disabled across the EU. Drawing the comparison with Americans with Disabilities Act the Article identifies the best practical examples of providing reasonable accommodation which give full effect to the ratio of this legislation.

The author examines a positive aspect of globalization: the spread of laws throughout the world protecting the rights of people with disabilities since the enactment of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) in the United States. The origin of the ADA and its effect and application in the United States are first examined. Next, the subsequent process of the globalization of disabilities rights legislation is analyzed. A general review of significant national and regional disability discrimination laws is undertaken, together with an attempt at ascertaining how such laws were influenced by the ADA. Special attention is given to developments in disability rights law in Europe and Latin America. Finally, the drafting, adoption and future impact of the UN Convention of the Rights of Persons with Disabilities is reviewed. The author concludes with a prognosis of the future global development - and enforcement - of disability rights law and other civil rights laws. Through increased contact and shared information made possible by globalization (among other strategies), disability rights (as well as other civil rights) advocates may continue to influence the global development of law in their respective fields.

The paper outlines socio-historical factors that led to the emergence of a new trend in doing research on disability issue – Disability Studies and the dissemination of a social definition of disability, on which the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD) is based. The main part of the text provides a critical analysis of the implementation process of article 24 CRPD at Polish universities with regard to relevant regulatory acts and using reasonable accommodations. Next, statistical data on students and PhD candidates with disabilities are presented. The main conclusions from thematic reports by the Polish Commissioner for Human Rights and by the disabled persons organizations are also presented. In the last part, the disability issue is discussed in the context of creating the Law on Higher Education 2.0 with the case study of amendment no. 47.
