| Venue: | Ct. App. 7th Cir. |
| Facts: | Anderson is dropped from law school for not maintaining a 77 average. He failed to do so because of alcoholism. He had been allowed to return the previous semester despite his poor average, and he harrassed his legal writing partner and got a D in that course. |
| Posture: | A ton of procedure and review at every level, and each time, Anderson is denied relief. Summary judgment in district court for the defendants. |
| Issue: | Did the University violate § 504 of the Rehabilitation Act by discriminating against him on account of alcoholism? Or was it equal protection? |
| Holding: | No, and no. Affirmed. |
| Rule: | The rehabilitation act forbids discrimination based on stereotypes, not on actual incapacity. |
| Reasoning: | The law school can set standards for itself, and we respect its judgment. |
