Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Art will have to show that Banquet refused to make reasonable accommodation for him due to his disability, which in this case involves the new doors on the entrance to the hall. The fact that Banquet replaced him with someone who did not have a disability suggests that Art's termination may have been discriminatory, but this alone does not establish a violation of the Americans with Disabilities Act. Additionally, proving that Art consistently met the essential requirements of his job or that the individual who replaced him is unqualified for the position is not necessary to establish a violation of the Americans with Disabilities Act in this fact pattern. The installation of the new doors was not necessarily an act of intentional discrimination, as it may have been an unintended consequence of an otherwise lawful building renovation or upgrade.
