Thanks sian -----Original Message----- From: Michael Trott [mailto:[log in to unmask]] Sent: 13 October 2005 18:12 To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Re: DSA/Bursaries In a message dated 13/10/05 14:27:37 GMT Daylight Time, [log in to unmask] writes: << At NUS we have been doing some work on the DSA and the fact that it does not cover outside lectures and academic- for example if a disabled student wanted volunteer, be put of a club or society or stand as an elected officer yet they would not have any way of accessing resources to support them in doing this. At NUS we believe that being a student is more that just the academic and that students with disabilities have the right to engage in all areas of the student experience. We are thinking of doing a campaign along these lines to DfES- what I was wondering was:- >> Perhaps NUS could set a good example by publicising the support it has in place for any disabled student wanting to stand for office. ???
