Nebraska - Deaf Student Wins - NYTimes.com Creighton University violated the Americans with Disabilities Act and the Rehabilitation Act when it failed to provide accommodations requested by a deaf medical student, a federal district court jury in Omaha ruled Wednesday. Although the jury decided that Creighton did not intentionally discriminate against the student, Michael Argenyi, it said making the accommodations would not have caused an undue burden. Mr. Argenyi, 26, took a leave because officials would not allow him to use an interpreter during clinical training. The judge will decide whether Creighton must accommodate him in his final two years and reimburse him for the aides he paid.
