What do you want?
The Student Union should launch an investigation into DDS to evaluate the breadth of its failures of neurodivergent students
Why do you want it?
The Neurodivergent Society group chat has revealed multiple failures of DDS for neurodivergent students (refusal to provide accommodations they had previously, failure to respond to emails in a reasonable timeframe, failure to send accommodations to the teachers so they can implement them, failure to follow up on the neurodivergent students to make sure their needs are being met, repeated requests for diagnosis letters they have already received multiple times).
The Student Union should investigate how broad those failures are beyond anecdotal evidence and based on the results request changes with the University to guarantee it complies with the Equality Act of 2010
What impact will this have?
Empower the SU to request changes from the University to be more inclusive towards the neurodivergent community
