  On one side yes, on the other side those two entrances are now more crowded, making it even worse for handicapped people, possibly for the time to come.

  Did anything actually force the issue though? The comment said that they closed the other six doors, but I don't see any implication that people pushed back in any way that improved the new two-door situation.

No, that can't be a defense of the school. The decision-makers could have decided to make improvements so at least some of those six doors became handicap accessible, but they didn't. Instead they decided to take a cheap action that imposed costs on others in order to make an empty statement.

  > My dorm building in college had eight entrances, of which two were handicap accessible. Around 13% of Americans have disabilities according to Google. 25% of the doors at this school were handicap accessible. I don't get "how bad handicap accessibility is" from this example. Closing 6 doors to comply with a policy of course is completely stupid.
