Americans With Disabilities Act: How Has It Been Enforced?

COLUMBUS, Ohio
"Good language, bad enforcement" typifies the Americans with
Disabilities Act, according to Moritz College of Law
Professor Ruth Colker. She contends that each of the three
areas of the ADA -- employment, public entities, and public
accommodations -- has suffered from problems of
underenforcement. She also feels there are challenges faced
in the State of Ohio in achieving better enforcement of
disability discrimination law, particularly as enforcement
responsibility is moved from the federal government to the
states.

These are issues Professor Colker will explore during the
University Distinguished Lecture at 4 p.m. EST, October 17,
2001 at the Wexner Center for the Arts, 1871 North High
Street, Columbus.

"The Americans with Disabilities Act: The First Decade of
Enforcement" will be broadcast live on the World Wide Web at
<http://www.osu.edu/lecture/html>.  To view the lecture at a
later time, see <http://www.osu.edu/lecture/archive/html>.

To increase accessibility for the entire community, the Web
cast will be closed captioned. In the lecture hall,
assistive listening devices and an American Sign Language
interpreter will be available. The text of Professor
Colker's lecture is also available in Braille upon request.

For more information, see <http://www.osu.edu/lecture> or
call Molly Davis at (614) 292-5881 or L. Scott Lissner
(TDD/TTY) at (614) 688-8605.

Professor Colker, the Heck-Faust Memorial Chair in
Constitutional Law, is the second faculty member from the
college to be tapped to present the University Distinguished
Lecture in three years. In May 1999, Professor Deborah Jones
Merritt was selected to present the lecture.

Professor Colker holds an A.B. degree from Harvard
University and a J.D. from Harvard Law School, where she was
an articles editor for the Harvard Women's Law Journal.
After graduating from law school, she practiced as a trial
attorney in the Civil Rights Division of the United States
Department of Justice for four years. She has taught in the
law schools at Tulane University, University of Toronto, and
University of Pittsburgh. At Ohio State, Professor Colker
teaches Constitutional Law, Legislation, Sexual Orientation
and the Law, Feminist Legal Theory, and Disability
Discrimination.

The University Distinguished Lecture Series was inaugurated
in 1996 as one of the University's highest honors for a
senior faculty member. The lectureship is awarded in
recognition of outstanding academic achievement,
particularly, but not exclusively, in research, scholarship,
or creative activity. The President's and Provost's Advisory
Committee reviews nominations and recommends candidates to
the President and Provost for final selection.

The Michael E. Moritz College of Law at The Ohio State
University is Ohio's flagship law school and ranked 17th
nationally among public law schools, according to U.S. News
and World Report. More than 650 students attend classes at
the school's John Deaver Drinko Hall, which is located at 55
West 12th Avenue, Columbus.
