Dani Bates, a sophomore nursing major from Arlington, finds comfort in her Emotional Support Animal, Lucy. Lucy helps Bates by reducing her stress at the university.
Bates had to comply with the all the requirements that would get Lucy approved to bring her into the hall. One of the requirements was a document that had to be signed by her doctor to confirm her medical condition. Her roommates also had to sign approval forms.
Since Lucy is an Emotional Support Animal, there are areas in the university where she is allowed and prohibited. ESAs that cause disruptions are to be reported by students. Luckily, Bates’ roommates have been very fond of Lucy. A roommate quoted, “she’s just like a fifth roommate.”
The university is considering to accommodate ESAs. Guidelines are being prepared as to what service animals will be allowed on campus. Full implementation of the new policy will take effect in the fall of 2017.
