142.00 DISCRIMINATION PROHIBITED

(Revised August 15, 1994)

142.10

In providing any aid, benefit, or service, the University may not, directly or through contractual, licensing, or other arrangements, discriminate on the basis of disability to:

  1. Deny a qualified individual with a disability the opportunity to participate in, or benefit from, any aid, benefit, or service which it provides;
  2. Provide any qualified individual with a disability an opportunity to participate in, or benefit from, any aid, benefits, or services that are not equal to those afforded to individuals who do not have disabilities;
  3. Provide a qualified individual with a disability with any aid, benefits, or services that are not as effective as those provided to individuals who do not have disabilities. To be "equally effective," an aid, benefit, or service need not produce an identical result or level of achievement for individuals with disabilities and individuals without disabilities. However, the University must afford individuals with disabilities an equal opportunity to obtain the same result or level of achievement in the most integrated setting appropriate to the individual's needs and to encourage, as appropriate, interaction among all users, including individuals with disabilities;
  4. Provide any different or separate aid, benefits, or services to individuals with disabilities or to any class of individuals with disabilities unless such action is necessary to provide qualified individuals with disabilities with aid, benefits, or services that are as effective as those provided to individuals who are not disabled;
  5. Aid or perpetuate discrimination against a qualified individual with a disability by providing any significant assistance to any agency, organization, or person that discriminates on the basis of disability against beneficiaries of the University's programs;
  6. Deny a qualified individual with a disability the opportunity to participate as a member of planning or advisory boards; or
  7. Otherwise limit a qualified individual with a disability in the enjoyment of any University right, privilege, advantage or opportunity enjoyed by individuals who are not disabled.

142.20

In determining the site or location of a facility, the University may not make selections that have the following effect:
  1. Excluding qualified individuals with disabilities from, denying them the benefits of, or otherwise subjecting them to discrimination under any program, service, or activity it operates; or
  2. Defeating or substantially impairing the accomplishment of the objectives of the University's programs, services, or activities with respect to qualified individuals with disabilities.

142.30

The exclusion of individuals who do not have disabilities from the benefits of a program limited by statute or executive order to individuals with disabilities, or the exclusion of a specific class of individuals with disabilities from a program limited by statute or executive order to a different class of individuals with disabilities, is not prohibited.
