Student May Sue Over Service Dog, Iowa Appeals Court Says

A 2011 lawsuit alleging that Drake University officials tried to keep a student from bringing the service dog she was training into class may proceed in court, the Iowa Court of Appeals ruled Wednesday. The Drake law school graduate says university officials were hostile toward her from 2006-9 even though Iowa law permitted her to have the dog in public places, the Des Moines Register reported. A Polk County District Court judge had dismissed the case in April 2012, but the student appealed.
