Illinois Administrative Code › Title 4 - DISCRIMINATION PROCEDURES › Part 1625 - AMERICANS WITH DISABILITIES ACT GRIEVANCE PROCEDURE › Section 1625.70 - Case-by-Case Resolution

Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 28, July 12, 2024
Each grievance involves a unique set of factors that includes
				but is not limited to: the specific nature of the disability; the essential
				eligibility requirements, the benefits to be derived, and the nature of the
				service, program or activity at issue; the health and safety of others; and
				whether an accommodation would constitute a fundamental alteration to the
				program, service or activity or undue hardship on the Board. Accordingly,
				termination of a grievance at any level, whether through the granting of relief
				or otherwise, shall not constitute a precedent on which any other complainants
				should rely.
