Settlement reached in NMU discrimination complaint

MARQUETTE, Mich. (AP) — Northern Michigan University has reached a settlement with the U.S. Department of Justice after a student with a disability filed a complaint alleging discrimination.
The Mining Journal reports that the complaint filed in 2013 with the department's Civil Rights Division says the student told another student of her mental health struggles. The complaint alleges the university violated the Americans with Disabilities Act when it threatened to "dis-enroll" the student, require her to undergo a psychological assessment and sign a behavioral agreement.
WLUC-TV reports that the Justice Department found three current or former university students with similar allegations of discrimination.
The university must draft an ADA/Non-Discrimination Policy, modify a portion of the dean of students web page and develop a training program for faculty and staff within 60 days.
