At universities like that, you need to be at the top of your game. I'm sure there are a number of students who require medication there and do just fine. I truly think she is referring to those individuals who let the handicap hold them back and expect the rest of the world to make allowances for them. Everyone has their ups and downs at school, but if the whole university needs to walk on egg shells because there's a growing number of kids who spendmore time freaking out than learning, I don't think sensitivity is the issue. They shouldn't be subjecting themselves to an environment that cannot be comfortable in. Maybe they need a different type of learning, maybe they need a different college. That doesn't seem so unreasonable to me.
Furthermore, I'm not sure I would let those guys come to my school. They transcend school. These were people who were gifted beyond institutions. Einstein dropped out, didn't he? I think these were examples of people who didn't need, nor would not have thrived in the structure of a college institution.
