Legal Question in Disability Law in Illinois

Re: Can I be fired because of a disability

That depends. What do you do for the college, why are you on the disability, and is it possible to do your duties in 6 hours?

The ADA requires employers to make reasonable accomodations for folks with disabilities. Unfortunately, this law is typically not enforced against state agencies, and if the college is a state entity, they may not be bound by the ADA. I don't know, off the cuff, if Illinois has a state law that is similar, but many states do, and these laws are often applied to state agencies.

If you would like to discuss this matter further, and answer the questions I pose, I am happy to try to advise you.
