Although the Disability Discrimination Act will 'overrule' this, I can think
of ways in which
such a statement (or at least a near variant) could be reasonable in certain
contexts
(context being the important word!).
Me: How could this statement or "a near variant" be viewed as "reasonable "
do you think? I am meaning not within the context of the minimalist
legislation, but genuinely "reasonable". It does not expand or give
examples. It is a blanket cop out statement saying that the institution
cannot be held responsible for making facilities accessible to a student,
even where that student "declares" (whatever that is supposed to mean).
Surely this is the very definition of unreasonable isn't it?
Regards,
Mike Higgins
