you until you name the organization:)
This was before you mentioned you needed  it for something else. If you
do find out, please post the name or explain why you can't. And if you
can't, probably best to not discuss in a public list. May want to ask
Julie to dump this thread and delete from server too.

Please circulate the following message as widely as appropriate.


Dear All,
    One of the initiatives on which NAGDU is working is that of service
dogs
at schools. This has especially become problematic with the
dissemination of
some model policies that were distributed by an organization that is
recognized as an authority on the topic. The policies contained some
provisions that are not in compliance with the ADA and Section 504 of
the
Rehabilitation Act, such as the necessity to produce documentation,
registering in advance with a specific department of the school, and
checking in each time a visit is made to the institution. Unfortunately,

because of the nature of the organization that disseminated this
information, many colleges and universities have adopted these policies
and
their enforcement could create serious issues for service animal users,
not
to mention litigation as the result of their enforcement.
    I am working with an attorney with the Department of Justice to
identify
the source of this inaccurate information and those who have adopted
these
policies in an effort to resolve this serious issue. If you or someone
you
know has encountered issues with access to an educational institution,
please get in touch with me. My contact information is below my
signature.

Fraternally yours,
Marion Gwizdala, President
National Association of Guide Dog Users (NAGDU)
