Hi all,
So apparently now, I must sign a contract each year to have my service
animal in campus housing.
What worries me is there are two places in said contract where it says
something to the effect of If a student has a service animal, their
housing may be changed if another resident has a fear or allergy to the
animal.
Am I wrong in thinking that this statement is just shy of being illegal?
Here is the exact wording of the contract:
(E)
T
he student is responsible for assuring that the
Animal
does not unduly interfere
with the routine activities of the residence or cause difficulties for
students who reside
there. Sensitivity to residents with allergies and to those who fear
animals is
important
to ensure the peace of the residential community.
Disability Services and Residence
Life & Housing will work with students in situations where an
accommodation for an
Animal negatively impacts another student covered by the Americans with
Disabil
ities
Act. Housing relocation may be utilized to
resolve such conflicts.
(J)
Residence Life
& Housing
has the authority to relocate a student and the
Animal
as
necessary
per current contractual agreements.
What do yall think of this?
The school is also asking for propper documentation that Cricket is in
fact a service dog... but, no one will tell me what those documents are
or how I can get them! Which, if they have a problem once I get on
campus, pardon my unprofessional opinion, but, they will not like me
very much at all!
Anyway, I was just wanting to know yall's thoughts on this new
development. If anyone is interested, I can send out a copy of the
entire contract.
Thanks
