The site looks to have been written in a style designed to appeal to
students. While I personally found the 'dyslexic' information a bit
'insensitive' in tone, it's possible that many people wouldn't. The
content though is pretty unhelpful and likely to lose them as much
business as it gains them.
The person following seems to be responsible at least for the design.
<<< [log in to unmask] >>> with an email address as the
designer(?) of the site. As he (?) has an academic address at plymouth
perhaps Judith could track him(?) or the actual website owner down and
have a word in his ear.
I'm not suggesting that any of the correspondents on this matter are
anything less than full of integrity - I'm sure all of us on this list
behave professionally - but I've experienced plenty of incidents of
universities 'taking advantage' of the DSA system, careless and
unhelpful LEA's and student rascals for me to get too upset about one
cheeky supplier. Caveat emptor (sic?)
