University of California Sued For Not Hiring Disabled Students
Alexander Stem, a student at the University of California Santa Barbara, is suing the school over an online job application that discriminates against students with disabilities.
Stem's online profile identified him as "disabled," since he applied for the job through the Disabled Student Program. Being identified as "disabled" automatically disqualified him from being able to apply for a variety of on-campus jobs. The University's online job application does not ask for more information about an applicant's disability in order to determine whether or not an applicant's particular disability would affect their ability to perform the job in question.
