Student sues university (and wins) for ADA violations over service dog in sorority house

A judge has decided that a sorority sister who uses a service dog can return to live in the Chi Omega house at The Ohio State University for now, even though another sister claims that she's allergic to the dog and it's making medical conditions she suffers from even worse.

She suffers from panic attacks and her certified therapy dog Cory is trained to calm her down

Carly Goldman (pictured) complained that Entine's dog was causing her allergies to flare up. She told the judge at a hearing last month that the dog's presence aggravated digestive issues that left her ill for weeks



Does everybody have a "medical condition" these days that requires some sort of special accommodation?

Been my experience that there's plenty of dogs already in some sorority houses.

I wasn't allergic to all of them.

Why would you even want to live in a sorority house if you have a service dog? You just keep it in a dorm room with no backyard?

Why does that chick need a fricking dog? Take a Xanax like 95% of the other sororitutes.

On a side note, how pathetic do you have to be that you can’t live alone without a dog by your side? I’d be embarrassed if I was this girl. But that’s the problem with the world today. What used to embarrass people 20 years ago is just normal shite for people nowadays.

From the article it appears that the girl with the dog suffers some pretty severe panic attacks - becoming physically incapacitated and unable to rise from the ground, and the dog helps this.

It says the other girl with the allergy only complained to her sisters after a couple of weeks. To me, this says that her allergy isn’t very severe; if it was she would’ve complained immediately.

Now, I’m all for a private establishment being able to make their own such decisions, I’m all for reasonable accommodations on public property, and I’m usually of the opinion that most “therapy dogs” are taking advantage of the system ... but I’m inclined to side with the dog in this case.

It's never the dog's fault that their owner is unhinged.

You haven’t been in many sorority houses have you?

Yeah I have, most had smaller rooms and not an appropriate back yard to just leave a dog outside. It’s not like this girl is bringing the dog out with her on weekend nights or sororities functions, it’s just a scam to keep her dog in the house. Not sure who else is jumping up to take care of some other girls dog. It’s not a “house dog,” it’s some selfish morons that likely isn’t just going to have free reign throughout the house

You can’t be trying to argue that a sorority house is an appropriate setting for a single members dog right?

Allergy girl is just mad because her sister won't loan her the dog for a peanut butter party.

Panic disorder is very real and scary as shite for those that actually suffer from it.

I'm sure some people have legitimate issues but not 85% of millenial girls which seems to be the self diagnosis rate.

She probably does.

Could be, but from the linked article it appears that this might actually be one of those cases where her “condition” isn’t bullshite.

I really don’t see how it’s any worse than the average inner city home (or an apartment, and lots of people in apartments have dogs). Her sorority room is probably not much different than her room she grew up in, though the sorority house is probably much bigger.
