Disabled Veterans Sue University of Michigan: Accommodate Disabled Fans at Renovated “Big House”
The Michigan Paralyzed Veterans of America, on behalf of disabled University of Michigan football fans, have filed suit in Federal District Court in Ann Arbor, asking the Court to end the University’s plan to discriminate against disabled fans in the renovated Michigan Stadium.
After months of attempts at a resolution outside of court, attorney Richard Bernstein, of the Sam Bernstein Law Firm, filed the lawsuit against the University of Michigan, seeking an end to the University’s failure to comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990.
The Paralyzed Veterans and other disabled fans have been denied equal access to seating at Michigan Stadium with discrimination that includes:
- Fewer than 100 seats, out of more than 107,000, that accommodate fans with disabilities
- Currently allowing disabled seating in the end zones, rather than throughout the stadium in various locations and price ranges, as the law requires
- Plans to force disabled fans to watch the game from the last row of the stadium, after new renovations
Attorney and disability rights advocate Richard Bernstein, who is blind and is an adjunct professor at the University of Michigan, represents the Veterans. Michigan Paralyzed Veterans of America Vice President Mike Harris is himself a football fan who has experienced discrimination at Michigan Stadium.
