>From the Chronicle of Higher Ed... again targeting disability as a
marketing technique to sell papers??
The article in question is absolutely, as one respondent notes, "rife
with misinformation." How many profs and parents of the
'unprivileged' NONdisabled' students will realize the inaccuracies,
however? How many will join the parade to protest LD students are
given "unfair advantage"?

The Chronicle of Higher Education is sponsoring an on-line discussion
this week on an essay that suggests that colleges and universities
may be going too far to assist those diagnosed with learning
disabilities. The essay suggests that some of the accommodations such
students receive may give them an unfair edge over other students and
impose an unreasonable burden on faculty members. The Chronicle
invites members of this list to read the essay and join the
discussion at:
