[nagdu] Question about College Campuses

[Tai Blas]

Dear Lizzy:

Unfortunately, it is the policy of most schools to refer any
disability-related issues to the office for students with disabilities. That
office will coordinate with other departments to be sure you are
appropriately accommodated while on campus. I don't think there is any risk
of the school not allowing your guide dog on campus. 

Best,

Tai

Subject: [nagdu] Question about College Campuses

Hi All,
Are college campuses considered public places even if they are private
schools? I know that they are open to the public but would my dog be covered
under the ADA? I had to inform a school that I will be bringing my guide
with me on a trip because I will be staying over night and don't want my
roommate to be allergic or afraid of dogs.  However, they are telling me
that I need to inform the office of disabilities and I'm not really sure
why.  I want to know my rights before talking to the office of disabilities
so that they don't overstep their boundaries.  Just as an FYI, this school
has never had a blind student and I'm not sure if they've ever had a service
dog on campus.
Thanks for any help you can give me,
Lizzy
