Thomas, Kent State University The Journal of Special Education, Vol.33/NO.4/2000, pp. 248-257 reprinted with permission This article briefly reviews Section 504 and the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 and identi fies the criteria that are used to determine whether a student is both "disabled" and "qualified." Then, specific areas of admission, accommodation, and dismissal are examined. Finally, guidelines are presented that may be used by professors and administrators in their efforts to provide qualified students with disabilities with nondiscriminatory access to higher education.

Alert: California Supreme Court Confirms Broad Disability Discrimination Protections February 25, 2003 Colmenares v. Braemar Country Club, Inc. , issued on February 20, 2003, the Court found that recent amendments to the FEHA merely clarified what had long been a distinction between California and federal law - that impairments need not be "substantially" limiting in order to qualify for state law protection. This decision has the effect of expanding the scope of California disability law beyond the definitions in both federal courts across the nation and California courts in the past, leaving potential coverage unpredictably broad. In Colmenares , plaintiff admitted that his "chronic back injury" did not "substantially" limit his ability to perform his work as a golf course maintenance crew foreman. Based upon that admission, the trial court granted summary judgment against plaintiff on the ground that he did not have a disability protected by the FEHA. While the case was on appeal, the California Legislature passed AB2222, which expanded the FEHA disability discrimination prohibitions, by, among other things

Owners are further required to make reasonable exceptions in their housing policies so as to afford equal housing opportunities to those with disabilities. The Rehabilitation Act prohibits discrimination on the basis of disability in programs conducted by Federal agencies, in programs recieving Federal financia assistance, in Federal employment, and in the employment practices of Federal contractors.
