The students don't seem to be having trouble with her. they say that she has helped them deal with life. It seems with what was written that it is small minded people who don't care about others.She should be allowed to return.

She is a therapy dog and has as much right to be at the university as much as the students. She has been there since she was young and that is all she knows and not only are you breaking the hearts of students you probably are breaking her heart. Have a heart and let her back in. She brings comfort and joy

If Ivy is a certified therapy dog and helps the students cope better with life, what the issue? Someone doesn't like dogs? Get over it!

You, meaning board members should concentrate on things that are more important. I think people sit all day thinking up ridiculous complaints, when there are more important things to be thinking about. I think this dog needs to be back at this school . Having a therapy dog is good for the students.

The point of expelling a canine who has brought more love and compassion to the campus than any human being is ridiculous. Please bring her back.

Please allow Ivy to return. She brings love, peace and happiness to those who are feeling ill. Why in the world, wouldl you want to stop it? Be human; have a heart! Allow this beautiful girl to return. Thanks.

People have nothing else to do but try to make others miserable. Ivy is a helper to more than you know. Leave her alone, get over yourself, let Mr. LaPolice continue to move forward as Ivy continues to be a therapist to more than you know. Without pay? Ridiculous!!!!ce

If this dog is bringing pleasure to the students let IVY stay. It's better than drugs or alcohol. Dogs are the best!!

Shame on the university for not realizing that they have banned a very positive aspect of their campus for the sake of "following the rules". Smarten up, join this century and welcome back the dog with open arms!

Ivy brings joy and calm with her, why can't we enjoy it when life is so stressful?

Ivy is cheaper than a psychiatrist and doesn't judge.

As the Mom of 3 daughters in college that left 3 dogs at home I can only imagine that having a friend like Ivy around would have helped with that transition
