The US Department of Justice has reached an agreement with Lesley University that ­requires the school to “continually provide” gluten-­free dining options to students, to ­ensure compliance with a federal law that protects people with disabilities, authorities said.

Among the settlement’s terms, Lesley has ­also agreed to provide a space in its main dining hall to prepare and store gluten- and allergen-free foods and to pay a combined $50,000 in damages to a group of students who have celiac disease or other conditions, the Justice Department said.
