An Excerpt From:
"So
What About the Money:
A Conversation Among Friends"
~~~~*~~~~
"Because
of the ADA,
discrimination against a person
with a disability
is not just unkind or cruel or wrong:
It is an infringement
of federal law,
and a violation of civil
rights."
President George W. Bush
February 1, 2001
in the introduction of his
"New Freedom Initiative" for Disabled Persons
"New Freedom
Initiative"
Offers "Tools for Success," Independence,
and Dignity to Disabled Persons
The proposal to Congress is divided into four parts:
increasing access to technology,
expanding educational opportunities,
integrating disabled people into the workforce,
and promoting access to community life.
According to the text of the document released
by the White House:
"The President will ensure full enforcement
of the Americans with Disabilities Act
by the Civil Rights Division
of the Department of Justice."
and
..."Too many private clubs, churches, synagogues,
and mosques are inaccessible or unwelcoming
to people with disabilities."
... "Every effort should be made to ensure
that Americans with disabilities
have the opportunity to be integrated
into their communities and
welcomed into communities of faith."

of a difficult year for the
SBU Athletics Department.

On November 1, four SBU football players
were dismissed from the university
and eight other disciplined
after a drinking party in the
early morning hours of October 29
ended in the gang-rape
of a 22-year old former SBU student
on a picnic table
by four SBU football players.
Apparently, some of these same athletes
were involved in the incidents
surrounding the deadly December 3 car wreck
that took the lives of three students
and injured two others.
