Dare one suggest that perhaps students don't see there being any value in
such committees?
Whether this is the case or not doesn't really matter but if the students in
question don't perceive these bodies to have any inpact of the lives of
themselves and other disabled students they won't be rushing to get
involved.
Maybe use a couple of case studies to demonstrate how committee business
does have a direct effect on student welfare. If there are no such examples
maybe they have a point afterall.
