DISABILITY ISSUES INFORMATION FOR JOURNALISTS HOME TOPICS ABOUT THE CENTER Study: Disabled Losing Nearly All Employment Discrimination Cases The report looked at 442 court decisions in Title I cases from 2002 that appeared in the publication through its March-April issue. "The Fifth Circuit had the highest percentage of employee wins (15.4 percent), followed by the Eighth Circuit (14.6 percent) and the Tenth Circuit (9.5 percent)," says the study. "The results clearly show a continuation of the pattern of employers prevailing and employees losing in an overwhelming majority of the final court outcomes and in a substantial majority of the administrative decisions," wrote Managing Editor Amy L. Allbright. "Even in the circuit that was most friendly to employees with disabilities (Fifth Circuit), employers prevailed nearly 85 percent of the time. The 5.5 percent of employee wins for 2002 close to 5.6 percent in 1998 slightly increased from 4.3 percent in 2001. "As in prior years, the largest category of case decisions are those in which employers prevailed summarily without the merits of the employees' claims ever being considered.' Of the 309 employer wins, "only 3.9 percent were resolved on the merits." Employees prevailed in 21.9 percent of EEOC administrative appeals, says the study. "Employees continue to have a better chance of prevailing at the administrative level than they do in court. However, even the EEOC complainants in 2002 did not prevail 78.1 percent of the time."

Toyota v. Williams DISABILITY ISSUES INFORMATION FOR JOURNALISTS HOME TOPICS ABOUT THE CENTER Supreme Court limits Americans with Disabilities Act in Williams case Jan. 8, 2002 The U.S. Supreme Court today narrowed the reach of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, ruling that the "impairment" must prevent a person from performing tasks important to daily life before it can be considered a "disability" enabling an individual to sue for protection against disability discrimination. Rep. Steny Hoyer writes of the "perils of judicial attempts at retroactive mind reading" in the Jan. 20 Washington Post "In resisting accommodations for people with disabilities, the business community is expressing the larger societal fear of disability itself," writes Gil Ott in the Philadelphia Inquirer Text of Supreme Court case and decision Stories from Reuters Associated Press "It is insufficient for individuals attempting to prove disability status under this test to merely submit evidence of a medical diagnosis of an impairment," Justice Sandra Day O'Connor wrote in the 18-page opinion. The decision, although expected by disability rights advocates, is nonetheless dismaying. "The Williams case is just another in a line of cases where the Supreme Court has constricted the scope of coverage under the ADA," says Georgetown University Law School's Chai Feldblum. "When Congress passed the ADA it intended to cover people with a range of medical conditions, including things like carpal tunnel syndrome," she insisted. "The hornet's nest Ella Williams has gotten caught up in has to do the fact that the ADA's definitions are vulnerable to restrictive readings" and the court has done that over and over. "What the courts have said is that because a person's "impairment" does not 'substantially limit' enough of a 'major life activity,' then they're not disabled under the law. "It's an absurd way to apply a civil rights law," says Feldblum, "but it's the reality of where we are today."

We already had very serious concerns about Judge Roberts’ expressed positions on disability rights, and his responses to Senators’ questions did nothing to allay our fears. Critical Medicaid Support for Katrina Victims Recognizing the desperate needs for mental health services of many thousands of people dispossessed by Hurricane Katrina, Congress postponed its consideration of Medicaid cuts until mid-October and a bipartisan group of Senators has introduced emergency health care relief legislation.

These strategies began with forced sterilization and escalated toward mass murder. The most extreme measure, the Euthanasia Program, was in itself a rehearsal for Nazi Germany's broader genocidal policies. It is estimated that 275,000 adults and children were murdered because of their disabilities. Play video Robert Wagemann Describes fleeing from a clinic where, his mother feared, he was to be put to death by euthanasia [1990 interview] See more photos Dioezesanarchiv Limburg/UNITED STATES HOLOCAUST MEMORIAL MUSEUM #86721a From 1933 to 1945, Nazi Germany carried out a campaign to “cleanse” German society of individuals viewed as biological threats to the nation’s “health.” Enlisting the help of physicians and medically trained geneticists, psychiatrists, and anthropologists, the Nazis developed racial health policies that began with the mass sterilization of “genetically diseased” persons and ended with the near annihilation of European Jewry. The ideological justification conceived by medical perpetrators for the destruction of the "unfit" was also applied to other categories of "biological enemies," most notably to Jews and Roma (Gypsies). Compulsory sterilization and "euthanasia," like the "Final Solution," were components of a biomedical vision which imagined a racially and genetically pure and productive society, and embraced unthinkable strategies to eliminate those who did not fit within that vision.

ISdesigNET Magazine Back Issues Jun'95 : Understanding Disabilities Understanding Disabilities Examining Issues Of Language And Portrayal by Meng-Kok Tan In the past 15 years or so, a major change in U.S. policy with respect to citizens with disabilities has occurred. Between 1968 and 1980, Congress passed a series of laws aimed at enhancing the quality of life for disabled Americans through various measures, including the removal of architectural barriers, the improvement of educational opportunities for disabled children and the encouragement of self-help organizations for people with disabilities. This disability legislation is based on familiar civil rights principles such as equal opportunity, nondiscrimination, integration, free choice and self-help, to name a few. The main issue linking all these principles is the concept of accessto education, to employment, to public facilities and services, to transportation, to housing and to other resources needed by disabled people to more fully realize their rights as citizens. Architectural barriers compromise access. They are seen in this context as obstacles that limit opportunity, promote discrimination, prevent integration, restrict choice and frustrate self-help. Sensitive Portrayals Because of our ability to provide universal access by eliminating architectural barriers, design professionals are in a unique position to shape public image of people with disabilities. But we must first understand what is disability. And we must use words and images that create a straightforward, positive view of people with disabilities.
