[nagdu] Question abound trave with a University

[Julie McGinnity]

Yeah, Danielle, your coordinators shouldn't be involved in any of
this.  I'm going to be honest here...  One of the quickest ways to get
on my nerves is to ask me to leave my dog at home for an event.
Mostly the people who think that you can't work with your dog in a
situation don't know very much about how you work your dog in the
first place.  My first dog sat through countless shows,
concerts(classical music, not loud), and recitals.  Both crowded and
not.

I don't know your relationship with this person; it may be that
telling them that you would prefer not to disclose your disability and
wish not to have special treatment may work.  But somehow, I doubt it.
I do hope they respect your wishes when you tell them not to disclose.
If they do not, I'm afraid they are violating FRPA like Aaron talked
about...  And that is big stuff.
