Cass 2: electric boogaloo
Considering Streeting's well stated belief autism, ADHD etc, along with mental health issues, are "overdiagnosed", I won't hold my breath for this doing anything other than being used to cut support, along with opportunities for diagnosis, for people who need it. #r4today

The most galling thing to me is that it would take the government, with its "massive majority" basically a single sentence of legislation to fix the fws EqA nonsense.

I hate to say it, but in terms of HE a very sizeable number of staff appear to believe that disability accommodations are unnecessary, a nuisance, and have gone 'too far'.
Toxic, precarious and competitive university environments (that ignore staff welfare) lend themselves to this kind of thinking

okay, I have to wonder how many of the people declaring that disability accommodations have gone "too far":
1. are disabled.
2. went through the process themselves.
3. work in higher ed at all.
4. read ANY critical disability studies work at all? Like, any?

Dealing with Colin-rat's insurance is 'fun' in a beaurocratic silliness way.

"I mean, he's dead and so is his brother, so the policy is not insuring anything"

tell us again about the benefit sanctions you were happy to support in return for the 5p plastic bag tax that were so bad they turned out to be illegal
There is an extraordinary sense of entitlement behind the belief that there ought to be political party that aligns 100% with your own opinions.

on my module, they are explicitly told any use of AI will be considered cheating and... yeah.
I am allowed to fail students for AI use, and I do, and I say I will, repeatedly and emphatically. As a result, I wind up having to fail very few students for AI use.
I read the thread and know why they're not failing the students. They gotta let colleges fail the students for the sake of the curriculum and other students

They frame it as asylum seekers living high on the hog, but you click through and it turns out the people in question got arbitrarily moved to the other side of the country and the home office didn’t update their GP so they had to drive back. Layers & layers of cruelty and incompetence

Weee the plastic surgeon has agreed to remove the neck lump. I was a bit worried they'd refuse (despite a dermatologist and pathologist saying there's a clinical need to go back in and remove the rest)
