I also am well aware of the case law which indicates that “perfect” accommodation is not required, but that the onus is on the respondents to demonstrate that they did what was reasonable in the circumstances to accommodate the applicant up to the point of undue hardship: see Fisher v. York University, 2011 HRTO 1229 at para. 42. However, I do not regard it as a requirement for “perfect” accommodation to expect that a student with a visual disability such as the applicant would receive her required reading materials in alternate format at a much earlier point in the academic year than late November, or that, if any further information was required in order for such materials to be prepared, that such requirement would be clearly communicated to the student. In my view, neither happened in the circumstances of this case.
