And my point is why would it not be covered by DSA? The absence is a
result of the impairment which will mean the student will miss a part of
their learning, in order to minimise that loss a notetaker would need to
be 'purchased' by the student, a non disabled student would not have the
same need.

The point I made was not that some HEI do not try to put note taking in
absentia in place but that it is my understanding that this is not
allowed under
DSA guidelines.
