Does a Permanent Profile prevent somebody from being on the Commandant's List?

So here my question, have a Soldier in WLC who is on a permanent profile. Because of this, they are excluded from commandant's list, honor grad, so on. Is there a set standard Army wide for this? Because if other WLC's don't follow that, then they are losing out on receiving those extra point and competitiveness for promotion later on.

I know that the sm must at least take an alternate event if on profile. However like others have stated if the sm met criteria to attend and was enrolled after their packet was reviewed then their is no reason why they should not be able to receive honors.

Part of me understands why this is happening; because your soldier's profile is interfering with them participating in all aspects of training. Is this fair well our mission in the Army doesn't deal with fairness overall now does it?

SFC apparently to the extent that this Soldier is not in contention for the top awards at WLC; I think this is understandable since the soldier in question has a profile, which despite this fact has them attending the School.

I have a permanent profile. I have completed the majority of academics, but was reinjured during Land Navigation 3 days prior to graduation, what it appears is soldiers are being discriminated against because of permanent injuries rather than based on Academic abilities. Some profiles distinguish not participating in Marching, running, and other physical capabilities. Therefore, the step promotion is literally barring these soldiers from advancement due to a verified disability. This would fall under ADA litigation for discrimination due to known profiled disability.
