PIMA Medical Institute Las Vegas Disabled Veteran kicked out of school for having a service dog Las Vegas Nevada
It would be much too lengthy to list the countless times I was harassed so I’ll list just two blatant acts. 1. I was KICKED out of a handicapped parking space. CLEARLY marked. Signs etc. With a handicapped plate. I was told "These spots are for visitors dropping boxes off”. I replied that’s its a handicapped spot and I have a handicapped plate. She said "I know, but you need to move”. This was demanded by the schools CIVIL RIGHTS OFFICER! Then, verified by the President of the school. He said "You get too worked up. Let it go” 2 I have 2 trained and certified service dogs. I brought each in on separate occasions. I faxed Pima’s NATIONAL OCR REP in Tucson. The shot records etc. I was FORCEFULLY REMOVED from the school, with my classmates just ten feet away. The President gave it to me in WRITING. He said he didn’t believe I had a disability, what it was, then asked my dog to perform. Then I was humiliated. And left. It’s a very long pattern of discrimination. I entered school on the VA Chapter 38 program. WHICH IS FOR DISABLED VETERANS. He ADMITTED to knowing this. It’s NOT he said she said. I not only have witnesses, but the CEO fLee in to speak with me and the president. He ALLOWED ME TO AUDIOTAPE THE MEETING. I realize this sounds so blatant that I must be exaggerating. But the proofs in the pudding. Witnesses, and an AUTHORIZED audiotape! They gladly accept federal funding. Including full payment from the VA. Then kick me out of school, a parking space, humiliate me, then ADMIT to it. If you have an ounce of patriotism or sense of equality, I urge you to attain your education elsewhere.
