who is protected?

My understanding is that any individual with disability is protected under these ACTs. Does a student with 'student visa' status have the same protection?
My own answer would be YES; but how would the legal system resolve a case like this if a became Tort issue?

juan,
Good question! Both 504 and the ADA extend their protection to any individual with a disability "IN the United States" -- not "from", but "in". It doesn't matter whether the student is a citizen or a permanent resident. It only matters that they are IN the United States.
