A North Carolina State University student recently won a legal battle against the university, which had denied her request to allow her emotional support cat, Kifree, to reside with her in her dorm room.
Under the settlement, the school reversed its initial decision, allowing Laura Auman to keep her cat in her dorm room. NCSU also paid her $3,000 and agreed to provide staff training on the federal Fair Housing Act as well as publicize its assistance animal policy, which allows disabled students to keep therapy animals in university housing.
