For this week’s EDI related reading I’d like to recommend Wonkhe’s “Why can’t we get financial support for disabled students right?” Support to students with a disability is an area often overlooked by Higher Education Institutions and Government – look no further than the Government’s problematic roll out of Universal Credit and it’s accessibility to disabled students across the UK. This is particularly concerning given that it is already twice as likely that a non-disabled student will attain a degree level qualification than a disabled student.
Thanks for reading!
