Report: No discipline for Kings' Brown
ANN ARBOR, Mich., Oct. 30 (UPI) -- The University of Michigan has received notice its students may lose federal aid because its football stadium is not handicapped accessible.
The U.S. Department of Education sent its report to the university last week, The Detroit News reported.
The Michigan Paralyzed Veterans Association, which has sued the university under the Americans With Disabilities Act, welcomed the findings. The suit claims that a planned renovation of the stadium does not do enough to make it accessible.
"This basically validates what we've been saying all along and hopefully the university will start taking this more seriously now," and Mike Harris, the group's executive director.
But the university disputes the report. Kelly Cunningham, a spokeswoman, said that no handicapped ticket holder has been turned away and that the renovations will add handicapped accessible seats in all sections of the stadium and make restrooms, parking lots and concession stands more accessible.
