Man with disability to appeal dorm query to trustees
November 3rd, 2008
From the Detroit News:
Micah Fialka-Feldman will present petitions with 1,000 signatures to the board of trustees of Michigan’s Oakland University this week, formally requesting permission to live in the school’s dorm. Oakland has previously said that Fialka-Feldman, who participates in an on-campus program for people with cognitive disabilities, can’t live in the dorm because he is not a student.
“He’s more of a student than a lot of other students here,” said Steve Clark, 22, president of the student body, who will speak on Fialka-Feldman’s behalf Wednesday. “I think the essence of student government is to stick up for students. Legally he may not be a student, but in every other realm he is.”
