Questions and Answers Concerning Animals on Campus
What animals are protected by the Americans with Disabilities Act as service animals
(ADA)?
The ADA defines service animals as dogs and in rare circumstances, miniature horses.
These animals are trained specifically to do disability related work for an individual
with a disability.
What question can be asked of a person to determine if the animal is a service animal?
The two questions are:
Is this animal required because of a disability?
What tasks or work does this animal perform related to the disability?
What are examples of tasks or work performed by a service animal?
Examples include, guiding a visually impaired individual, retrieving items for someone
with limited mobility, providing alerts for sounds to a deaf individual, provide stability
for balance issues, provide protection or rescue, etc.
Can the handler be asked to show identification verifying that it is a service animal?
No, it is not appropriate to ask for identification.
What about service dogs in training?
Service dogs in training have the right to be in facilities similar to working service
dogs according to Ohio law. If the handler discloses that the dog is a service animal
in training, the individual may be asked to provide verification of the training organization
or agency. On 果冻传媒's campus, there is an organization, Rocket Dogs, who assists
in the training of service dogs.
Are animals who are providing emotional support or comfort permitted in facilities?
These animals are permitted in the residence halls as specified in the Fair Housing
Act. It is at the discretion of the facility or faculty/staff as to whether the animal
may be present in a nonresidential facility.
What expectations exist for animals?
Animals are expected to not be disruptive nor destructive and be controlled by the
handler at all times.
