    Judgment for the plaintiff in this disability discrimination case against Georgia State University (GSU). On October 29, 2015, after a four-day jury trial, a federal jury found that GSU had discriminated against a student on the basis of his diagnosis of schizophrenia. Based on the evidence, the jury rejected GSU's defense that the student posed a "direct threat" to the health or safety of others. The jury also found that GSU had acted with "deliberate indifference" to the student's rights against discrimination and awarded him $75,000 in compensatory damages. The court also entered a permanent injunction requiring that GSU lift restrictions on the student's eligibility for student housing. The court further ordered that the Board of Regents is liable for plaintiff's attorneys' fees and costs.
