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?
