MEDFORD, Ore. (AP) — The struggle of a young Oregon woman with Down syndrome to attend an art class at Southern Oregon University in Ashland is the subject of a new documentary.
The Mail Tribune reports that Eliza Schaaf enrolled in a college-level ceramics class last fall as a non-admitted student.
Non-admitted students may enroll in up to eight credits of classes but don’t earn credit toward a degree.
Midway through, the university administration decided to drop Schaaf from the class, saying she required excessive supervision that limited the instructor’s ability to interact with the rest of the class.
