Barber, Catherine Miller

University of Dayton Law Review, v3 n2 p449-58 Sum 1978

Section 504's prohibiting discrimination solely on the basis of handicap against otherwise qualified individuals in programs receiving federal funds was the basis of a deaf student's claim that an institution's failure to provide an interpreter violated Section 504. Implications for private colleges and possible grounds for appeal are discussed. (AF)
