Over the summer, once generic promises like “improving communication” or “becoming more student focussed” were filtered out, Wonkhe’s analysis of the most popular issues across students’ union officer manifestoes placed “reasonable adjustments” for Disabled students up in the top five.
That is not a particularly scientific way of measuring the depth or breadth of an issue. But it does tell us something about the frequency with which “reasonable adjustments” that enable Disabled students to access higher education are not met, and the priority that student leaders are placing on this particular “risk to equality of opportunity”.
