Official Response:
This idea is being send to the SU Exec/Management Meeting for a discussion as to wheter this is something Union would like to persue.
An update will be provided after 18th July
Going to university as a Disabled student is difficult enough, our student halls shouldn't be making it more difficult. I would like for the university to make sure the preferred, recommended and approved accommodation provider, is accessible to everyone.
This should include:
These are all solutions to issues I have encountered as a Disabled student this year living at storthes, the Disabled students within our university community should be afforded basic neccesities and independence that able-bodied students get as a given.
Comments
Definitely agree with all of this, Eddie! I feel that wheelchair users having to wait hours to get to uni when their abled bodied peers don’t have to put us at an unfair disadvantage. This is particularly worrying during exam season, but is always important for social and educational needs.
Definitely agree with this, everyone should be able to have the same experience as other students, including being able to live in halls.
