Hi Ruth, We are just addressing a new campus policy called "Animals on Campus" which includes specifics about service and emotional support animals. We don't have the same patient issues that you experience since we're not one of the UT health institutions like your campus.
I'd be happy to forward it to anyone who would like to see it but it is still in draft form only. The draft has not been blessed by legal counsel, our president or our UT System Office of General Counsel. But it has passed our Policy Office Advisory Group review. There was quite a lot of "rumble" from faculty council surrounding the service animals in training in bldgs./offices, but we are following TX state law with respect to those requirements. Hope to meet/see some of your in Chicago - ACUPA Conference 2013!
