Legal Question in Disability Law in California
Bipolar Disorder + School
First of all, I have bipolar and have
been diagnosed as such for the past
three years. Two years ago was
attending a private christian
university and towards the end of
one quarter I had an episode where I
broke another students window. I
was taken to a mental facility for one
week as a result of the incident.
During the summer I spent many
months determining the best combination of drugs to reduce the
possibility of another episode. Since
then, I have yet to experience
another episode like the one prior.
However, I am currently trying to
gain access as an alumni to the
university. The university, though,
does not want me to be on their
property. We have had many talks
over the past year and they still see
me as a liability. All I want is to be
able to access the library system, the
attend concerts, art exhibitions and
drama performances. Under ADA law,
would this be a type of discrimination
and could I seek legal help to allow
me on the premises?

Re: Bipolar Disorder + School
"Discrimination"? Sounds like you were barred because of committing a crime; a good reason in most people's book. That is their private property, and they can limit access and use to anyone they chose, just like stores and other businesses. Disobey at the risk of arrest for trespass.
