Abstract

Congress' intention of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 was to eradicate discrimination based on handicap. Note examines how the Rules and Regulations promulgated to implement section 504 of the Act by permitting waivers under certain circumstances fall short of accomplishing this goal and examines the small, but increasing number of cases decided under the Act.
