There is no evidence of any deliberation, nor of any decision. 

There is certainly evidence that special accomodations were not allowed.
I would certainly agree that they should haave been allowed. That would
constitute a reasonable accomodation and thus be more likely to equalize
the opportunity. But, that isn't the same as people sitting down to say
"let's stick it to this person." That's what "deliberately deny" means.

Did they deny equal access? Arguably so, by virtue of not making
reasonable and appropriate accomodations. Was that a "deliberate
decision to deny?" Bull..

Ignorance and lack of consideration? Yes. "Deliberate decision to deny."
Hardly.

Or, perhaps you're privvy to some smoking memo? Or the meeting agenda
where this deliberate decision was reached? 

So, thaat's one supposed fact in question. You did say "facts," as in
the plural. So, what else
