Based on my 15 years of teaching at the university level

Cool, so you have less than me.

Ventura College is a public institution in California

This happened at Oxnard, which is also a public CC in CA, so your point stands.

they will absolutely hold this guy to every state and federal mandate

We are in complete agreement here. What we are disagreeing over is the full context of this situation which is unknown. We don't know what the student's accommodation(s) are, nor do we know if the student was being actively/audibly disruptive as the professor alleges (which wouldn't be covered by the accommodation).

My point remains that, yes, you could be wrong and you're making a series of assumptions based on one side of a story which the university simply won't do.
