Federal judge hears dorm bias complaint against Michigan’s OU
January 15th, 2009
From the Detroit Free Press:
A lawyer for a cognitively impaired Huntington Woods man who sits in on classes at Oakland University but was barred from living on campus because he isn’t enrolled in a degree-producing program asked a federal judge on Tuesday to rule that he is the victim of discrimination.
Micah Fialka-Feldman (above) said through counsel that he is seeking equal opportunity to live in the dorm like any other student. Oakland University argued that its policies are not discriminatory, and that its dorm rooms are reserved for students who are high school graduates and have been admitted to degree programs.
Judge Patrick Duggan took the case under advisement.
