Colorado Mountain College officials say they found no discrimination during their investigation into a discrimination complaint.

Channing Seideman, who has epilepsy, filed a complaint accusing faculty members of mishandling a seizure she had during class at the Aspen campus.

The college emailed her that the incidents were reaching a point where it could ask her to drop classes after her second seizure in three semesters.

According to the Aspen Times, college officials determined that there was no discrimination and that nobody involved should be reprimanded. The college acknowledged it could to a better job accommodating the disabled, which Seideman says is a good first step.
