One of the professors here is disabled. She installed PVC doors so that

could easily get in and out of her house.

IME experience PVC doors and architraves are far worse than
traditional wood for access. The greater thickness of the sections
makes for deep thresholds to be got-over, thick ugly architraves
equates to small doors, and correspondingly restricted space in the
doorway.

I did think that, but that was what she claimed.

What is she a professor of ??

Physiology, specialising in smooth muscle.

They started to harass her about
it, but I believe she just paid the fine and kept her doors.

She "fought" for *Plastic* . The mind boggles.

She must have felt it was the only option for her.

AIUI that can't be an option, except maybe in extremis, her choice,
let it go to court, tough it out from there.

That is what she did.

It was in the times last year.

Good, if you could just post a link to it we can see what it is all
about, and suss it out.

Not the Times article, but the same thing.
