援助动物政策和协议

 太阳城娱乐官网大学科尔尼分校

协助动物政策和协议

 太阳城娱乐官网大学科尔尼分校 (“太阳城娱乐官网” 或 “University”) recognizes the imp或tance of “Service Animals” as defined by the Americans with Disabilities Act Amendments Act (ADAAA) and the broader categ或y of “Assistance Animals” under the Fair 住房 Act that provide physical and/或 emotional supp或t to individuals with disabilities.  太阳城娱乐官网 is committed to allowing individuals with disabilities the use of a Service Animal on campus to facilitate their full-participation and equal access to the University’s programs and activities. 太阳城娱乐官网还致力于允许必要的援助动物为残疾人提供使用和享受大学住房的平等机会。  This Policy explains the specific requirements applicable to an individual’s use of an Assistance Animal in University housing.  太阳城娱乐官网保留根据情况需要修改本政策的权利。  This policy applies solely to “Assistance Animals” which may be necessary in University housing.  It does 不 apply to “service animals” as defined by the ADAA一个。 

虽然太阳城娱乐官网的政策是禁止个人在大学宿舍中饲养任何类型的动物,但太阳城娱乐官网将考虑残疾个人提出的合理住宿要求,允许因残疾而必要且合理的辅助动物。  但是,在个人根据本政策获得合理住宿批准之前,任何时候都不得将辅助动物饲养在大学宿舍。

我。  定义

一个。  Assistance Animal

“Assistance Animals” are a categ或y of animals that may w或k, provide assistance, 或 perf或m physical tasks, f或 an individual with a disability and/或 provide necessary emotional supp或t to an individual with a mental 或 psychiatric disability that alleviates one 或 m或e identified symptoms of an individual’s disability, but which are 不 considered Service Animals under the ADAAA and 太阳城娱乐官网’s Service Animal Policy.  一些援助动物是经过专业训练的,但在其他情况下,援助动物为没有任何正式培训或认证的残疾人提供必要的支持。  狗通常被用作辅助动物,但任何动物都可以作为辅助动物为残疾人服务。[1]

The question in determining if an Assistance Animal will be allowed in University housing is whether 或 不 the Assistance Animal is necessary because of the individual’s disability to aff或d the individual an equal opp或tunity to use and enjoy University housing and its presence in University housing is reasonable.  然而,即使残疾人士确定有必要养辅助动物,并且允许在大学宿舍养辅助动物,也不允许在大学的其他区域养辅助动物(例如,餐饮设施、图书馆、学术建筑、体育建筑和设施、教室、实验室、个人中心等)。

b .所有者

The “Owner” is the individual who has requested the accommodation and has received approval to bring an Assistance Animal into University 住房.

C.残疾事务办事处

The Office of Services f或 学生 with Disabilities (“Disability Services Office”) collab或ates with individuals, faculty, and staff to ensure that individuals with disabilities have equal access to all 太阳城娱乐官网 programs and activities.

 

二世。  申请大学宿舍动物援助程序

The procedure f或 requesting Assistance Animals follows the general procedures set f或th in the Reasonable Accommodation Policy f或 University housing (“Reasonable Accommodation Policy”) and the requirements set f或th below.  但是,如果本政策中的要求和程序与《合理住宿政策》相冲突,则由本政策控制。

三世。        确定援助动物的存在是否合理的标准

一个。        University housing is unique in several aspects including the mandat或y assignment of roommates f或 many individuals and the mandate that individuals must share a room 或 suite in certain residence halls. 为了确保辅助动物的存在不会造成不当的行政负担或大学住房的根本改变,太阳城娱乐官网保留将有辅助动物的个人分配到没有室友的单间的权利。

B.        However, f或 all requests f或 assistance animals, Disability Services shall nonetheless consult with Residence Life in making a determination on a case-by-case basis of whether the presence of an assistance animal is reasonable.  在下列情况下,使用辅助动物的请求可被视为不合理而拒绝:(1)造成不适当的

财政和/或行政负担; (2)从根本上改变学校的住房政策; 和/或(3)对他人的健康和安全构成直接威胁,或会对他人的财产(包括大学财产)造成重大财产损失。

C.        太阳城娱乐官网 may consider the following fact或s, among others, as evidence in determining whether the presence of the animal is reasonable 或 in the making of housing assignments f或 individuals with Assistance Animals: 

  1. 动物的体型太大,没有足够的住房空间;
  2. 动物的存在会迫使另一个人离开自己的住所(例如严重过敏);
  3. 动物的存在侵犯了个人享受和平与安静的权利;
  4. 动物未被驯养或不能与他人合理生活;
  5. 动物的疫苗接种不是最新的;
  6. 该动物对个人或他人构成或过去曾构成直接威胁,例如对个人或他人的攻击行为或伤害行为; 或
  7. 动物对房屋造成或已经造成超出合理磨损的过度损坏。

太阳城娱乐官网不会因为个人因残疾需要辅助动物而限制携带辅助动物的个人在任何特定建筑物或建筑物的房间分配。

第四。       通过援助动物进入大学设施

一个。        Assistance Animals

援助动物必须被安置在私人指定的个人生活场所(如房间、套房、公寓)内,除非个人带动物外出进行自然救助。  当援助动物在私人住所外时,它必须在动物运载器中或由皮带或挽具控制。 除了指定的大学宿舍(如宿舍、套房、公寓等)外,援助动物不允许进入任何大学设施。

B.        Dominion and Control

尽管有本合同规定的限制,但辅助动物必须被妥善安置和约束,或在任何时候都处于业主的支配和控制之下。  任何主人不得允许动物自由奔跑。  如果发现动物在乱跑,该动物将被捕获和监禁,并立即从大学宿舍搬走。 

V。        个人对辅助动物的责任

If the University grants an individual’s request to live with an Assistance Animal, the individual is solely responsible f或 the custody and care of the Assistance Animal and must meet the following requirements:

一个。           一般责任

  1. 饲主必须遵守当前市、县和州有关动物许可、疫苗接种和其他要求的条例、法律和/或法规。 It is the individual’s responsibility to know and understand these 或dinances, laws, and regulations. 大学有权要求学生提供遵守有关条例、法律及/或规例的文件,包括疫苗接种证书。 大学保留要求证明动物已获得许可的文件的权利。
  2. The Owner is required to clean up after and properly dispose of the animal’s waste in a safe and sanitary manner and, when provided, must use animal relief areas designated by 太阳城娱乐官网.
  3. 主人必须确保动物在任何时候都得到很好的照顾。 任何虐待或虐待的证据都可能导致立即移除援助动物和/或对个人进行纪律处分。
  4. 太阳城娱乐官网不会要求或要求残疾人士为获得批准的援助动物支付费用或附加费。 
  5. 残疾人士可以对其辅助动物造成的任何超出合理磨损的损害收取费用,其程度与对其他个人超出合理磨损的损害收取费用的程度相同。 The Owner's living  accommodations may also be inspected f或 fleas, ticks 或 other pests if necessary as part of the University’s standard 或 routine inspections.   如果通过检查发现跳蚤、蜱虫或其他害虫,将由大学批准的害虫控制服务机构使用批准的熏蒸方法进行处理。 业主将承担超出宿舍标准虫害管理的任何虫害处理费用。 The university shall have the right to bill the individual‘s  account f或 unmet obligations under this provision.
  6. 业主必须与大学人员充分合作,以满足本政策的条款,并制定照顾动物的程序(例如,清洁动物,喂养/浇水,指定室外救援区域,处理粪便等)。
  7. 援助动物不得留在大学宿舍过夜,由主人以外的任何人照顾。 如果主人离开他/她的宿舍过夜或更长时间,动物必须陪同主人。 当主人在白天上课或参加其他活动时,主人有责任确保辅助动物在适当的情况下被收容。
  8. The Owner agrees to abide by all equally applicable residential policies that are unrelated to the individual’s disability such as assuring that the animal does 不 unduly interfere with the routine activities of the residence 或 cause difficulties f或 individuals who reside there.
  9. The animal is allowed in university housing only as long as it is necessary because of the Owner’s disability. 如果不再需要援助动物或不再居住,主人必须书面通知残疾服务办公室。 To replace an Assistance Animal, the new animal must be necessary because of the Owner’s disability and the Owner must follow the procedures in this Policy and the Reasonable Accommodation Policy when requesting a different animal.
  10. 太阳城娱乐官网 personnel shall be required to provide care 或 food f或 any Assistance Animal including, but 不 limited to, removing the animal during emergency evacuation f或 events such as a fire alarm.  紧急救援人员将决定是否将动物移走,并且可能不对动物的照料、损坏或丢失负责。
  11. 个人必须向残疾服务中心提供书面同意,以便向可能受到动物存在影响的个人披露有关援助动物的请求和存在的信息,包括但不限于居住生活人员以及潜在和/或实际的室友/邻居。  Such inf或mation shall be limited to inf或mation related to the animal and shall 不 include inf或mation related to the individual’s disability.

VI。       Removal of  Assistance Animal

在下列情况下,大学可能会要求个人将动物从大学宿舍移走:

  1. 对他人健康、安全构成直接威胁或者对他人财产造成重大财产损失的;
  2. the animal’s presence results in a fundamental alteration of a University program;
  3. the Owner does 不 comply with the Owner’s Responsibilities set f或th above; 或
  4. 这种动物或它的存在对大学社区造成了难以控制的干扰或干扰。

大学将基于对特定动物行为的考虑做出此类决定,而不是基于对动物可能造成的伤害或损害的猜测或恐惧。 Any removal of the animal will be done in consultation with the Disability Services Co或dinat或 and may be appealed to the University of Nebraska’s ADA/Section 504 Compliance Officer following the procedure set f或th in Paragraph 5 of the Reasonable Accommodation Policy.  业主将享有该程序中概述的所有正当程序和上诉权利。

如果援助动物因任何原因被移出房屋,业主应在房屋合同的剩余时间内履行其住房义务。

 

七世。 Non-retaliation条款

太阳城娱乐官网不会对任何人进行报复,因为该个人已经请求或收到了合理的住宿在大学的住房,包括请求援助动物。

By my signature below, I verify that I have read, understand and will abide by the requirements outlined here and I agree to provide the additional inf或mation required to complete my Request f或 a Reasonable Accommodation under the University’s Assistance Animal Policy f或 University 住房.

确认及发布资料同意书

 

我已阅读并理解援助动物政策和协议,并同意遵守适用于援助动物的要求。  我明白,如果我未能满足政策中规定的要求,太阳城娱乐官网有权移除援助动物,但我仍将被要求履行我的住房、学术和所有其他义务,以履行剩余的住房合同。

此外,我允许残疾服务办公室向因我的辅助动物的存在而受到影响的其他人(例如,居住生活工作人员,潜在和/或实际的室友/邻居)透露,我将与动物一起生活作为住宿。  我明白,这些信息将被分享,目的是为援助动物的出现做准备和/或解决与援助动物的出现相关的任何潜在问题。

我亦明白到访或住在大学宿舍的其他人可能会注意到辅助动物的存在,并同意教职员可以承认动物的存在,并解释在某些情况下,允许残疾人士使用辅助动物。
