Two major pieces of legislation prohibit discrimination against persons with disabilities. The Rehabilitation Act states: "...no otherwise qualified individual with a disability in the United States...shall, solely by reason of his or her disability, be excluded from the participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any program ore activity receiving Federal financial assistance" (Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973). The ADA states, "Subject to the provisions of this title, no qualified individual with a disability shall, by reason of such disability, be excluded from participation in or be denied the benefits of the services, programs, or activities of a public entity, or be subjected to discrimination by such entity" (Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act, 1990).
The Family Education Rights and Privacy Act of 1974, as amended, is a federal law which states (a) that a written institutional policy must be established and (b) that a statement of adopted procedures covering the privacy rights of students must be made available. Menlo College shall maintain the confidentiality of student education records in accordance with the provisions of the ACT and shall accord all the rights under the Act to students who are declared independent and who are or have been in attendance at Menlo College. This law is commonly referred to as the FERPA, and the Menlo College form (FERPA) for student signature is available here.
