Huss on Canines on Campus

New (at least to me) on SSRN:  Animal law scholar Rebecca Huss has posted her paper Canines on Campus: Companion Animals at Postsecondary Education Institutions, forthcoming in the Missouri Law Review.  The abstract:

This Article focuses on the issues that arise when students wish to attend a postsecondary institution accompanied by an animal. The Article begins by analyzing the federal law applicable to students bringing service and assistance animals to campus. The use of animal-assisted activities on campus is also explored. The Article continues with an examination of policies allowing students to have companion animals in campus housing. Concerns raised by administrators about allowing animals on campus are then considered. Finally, the Article sets forth the measures an educational institution should implement to ensure compliance with the law and proposes actions that can be taken to protect humans and safeguard the companion animals on campus.
