On November 19, 2009, ASWAN filed its second amended
complaint and in it alleges a retaliation claim against VCU in
separately numbered counts and identifies the ADA as the
source of this cause of action. Specifically, ASWAN alleges
that sometime in 2008 or 2009, the Daily Planet (an affiliate
of ASWAN) acquired a passenger van to transport homeless
people from downtown to the Conrad Center; many of these
homeless people were disabled. ASWAN alleges that VCU
agreed to "provide some funding to the Daily Planet" to offset
a portion of these transportation costs. ASWAN further
alleges that after it filed its original complaint in February
2009, VCU retracted its "agreement" with the Daily Planet in
order to "punish" ASWAN by (1) "depriving its members . . .
of the benefit of transportation"; and (2) "showing" ASWAN
that "its decision to file a civil rights lawsuit against VCU had
backfired, hurting the very homeless people" ASWAN seeks
to serve. II.
