The Americans with Disabilities Act: An Analysis of Compliance Standards.

Heyward, Salome

Journal of Intergroup Relations, v17 n4 p42-47 Win 1990-91

Analyzes briefly some of the compliance standards of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA), using the evolution of disability discrimination law under the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 as a guide. Concludes that the ADA's compliance standards are more vaguely worded than the earlier legislation, possibly opening the door to a wave of litigation against businesses. (CJS)
