Recently we have heard many complaints about the requirement of colleges and universities to report sexual assault cases on campus to federal departments. My Facebook news feed blew up with criticism about Governor Walker's choice to not track campus sexual assaults through state agencies; rather let federal authorities deal with. It seems that there is a lot of confusion all the way around.
What is surprising, to me, is one line of the whole article. Complaints regarding actions associated with disability have risen 34%. The largest category increase. Yet, that but of news only received one line. It has been illegal to discriminate based on disability since the 1970's, yet it apparently looks like the U.S. educational system still has a problem abiding by the law.
I don't have any suggests, this was just an observation. It will be interesting to see how this works out in the next year.
