An Inclusive Litany
7/10/96
A Boston University
freshman was awarded extra time and a room alone for all tests, copies
of the professor's lecture notes, and an update by the professor on
material missed after the student fell asleep in class, all because
the student claimed disability "in the area of auditory processing."
BU president Jon Westling cites other aid requests for disabilities
such as "disrationalia," or "the inability to think and behave
rationally, despite adequate intelligence."
