I am not surprised! Oxford Uni is notorious for its bad attitude to disabled people. To name just two examples: Michael Flanders (of Flanders and Swan fame) after serving in the Royal Navy in the 2nd World War was not allowed back into Christchurch college, Oxford) because he was then a wheelchair user, Stephen Hawking would not be able to enter Oxford's Astrophysics lab (built in the 1970's) via the front entrance. I think that Oxford Uni still considers that the human brain is in the feet rather than above the neck. Perhaps the only way they will catch up with 20th century attitudes to impairment and disability would be if their grant was threatened until they started to treat disabled people the respect they deserve. However, they have ample amounts of money and own the centre of Oxford and much farm land nearby.
