Marion, this is a housing issue not a university wide issue.  I have
been reading about HUD regulations and it is very confusing to me.
HUD can require a doctor's prescription and proof of vaccinations for
assistance dogs but it seems less clear regarding service animals.
Thanks for any guidance here.  I have a copy of the document all
service and assistance animal handlers were asked to sign and can
forward to you if that helps.
