we have these really cool ramps that aren't legal. So, the ramps are

as an additional technical point: ramps are *wheelchair* accessible;
only a minority of handicapped folks use wheelchairs; accessibility
requirements between handicaps vary and can actually be mutually
incompatible: I hate ramps, they make my life more complicated and
dangerous, and I always go for the stairs to the consternation of
whoever is in charge (I used to do that when using a wheelchair too,
as it is generally faster / shorter); and unless they are MDs with
the proper qualifications -- and even then -- who are they to say that
your students or I are handicapped anyway? use the darn ramps if they
work for you.
