(c) by subjecting that student to any other detriment.
(4) Subsections (1) and (2) shall not apply to an educational establishment which refuses or fails to accept a person's application for admission as a student at an educational establishment where that person, if admitted as a student by the educational establishment, would require services or facilities that are not required by students who do not have a disability and the provision of which would impose unjustifiable hardship on the educational establishment.
