Hello all,

I'm all settled into my dorm and Viva is doing fabulously with the
change and all the people moving on to campus. However, I just
received a very disconcerting message from my DS office inquiring
about whether Viva is all up to date on her vaccines and if she is
licensed. The message came from a new graduate assistant that they
just hired, so I'm hoping that she wasn't really informed of the laws
pertaining to service animals. I wrote back very politely and told
them that it was none of their business because it wasn't relevant at
all to the services they are providing me. However, I did provide this
information to housing when I told them that my guide dog would be
living with me in the dorm. A friend told me that technically, I don't
even have to do this for housing. Is it true? I just figured since I'm
going to have a roommate, they need this information for safety
reasons.
