We have the situation of a postgraduate PhD student with
dyslexia who needs an extension to complete his thesis. His
department do not have a problem with this however, he is
being penalised financially by the research council for late
submission. The research council have been informed that he
has dyslexia but say they will not make an exception to the
rule. The consequence of this is that the research council
will also penalise the department for having a student
submit late by decreasing their funding in future years.
Has any one had any experience in this area? Are all the
research councils taking such a blanket approach?
Kind regards
Emma
