We expect departments to meet the extra costs, and they are generally quite
content to do so. As at Westminster this question has been aired in
committee in the past, but Central Admin are quite firm that that procedure
should continue.
There was a recent complaint from the Departmental Administrator of one of
the departments more popular with disabled students that they were bearing
an unfair financial burden, (Computer Studies, Social Sciences, and the
Business School undoubtedly have more disabled students than most), but our
policy remains the same and there is no question of it affecting recruitment.
