As you are, or were,studying law, I do not need to remind you that publicising your feelings in this way on a public forum is dangerous, and has legal implications. I really urge you to refrain from sending Emails to any public listsairing your views in this way. I am not a moderator, nor claim to dotheir job, but feel you are entering dangerous waters with some of your comments or when reproducing information that was sent to you privately. No offence whatsoever intended, just a personal plea that you need to be careful!

As a disabled student at the Open University people might be interested to know that I was suspended fromthe university on 17 July 2009 amd effectively thrown out. Did I get aHearing? Certainly not! I got a letter throwing me out. I also got aletter from the Regional Director of the Open University in London whogave me a final warning amd cut off my access to communication with Open University law students. Where was the prior warnings? There were none.This person is going through my file with the aim of dicipling me. Allof this flies in the face of natural justice. My offences are as follows:I want to know the number of students who have sat 50 per cent of thethird level law course W 300 since its inception 9 years ago. I want to know why Special Arrangements were not made for me as a disabled student in the last course I did in 2008 which I failed despite having done very well throughout the assessments over the year. I an firmly of the opinion that the university threw me out because they wanted to silence me on the issue of 50 per cent re-sit of an examination. I discovered that students had been allowed to do this which was hush hush. I an not now going to be able to sit an exam amd pass it this year as I an currently out amd the way the Open University works is that assignments have to be put in every month. My next one is due on 12 August but I will still be out! I have Appealed to the Senate of the University for lifting of my suspension. Meeting not until 1 September. There are going to be 2students on the panel. I wrote today saying that one of these studentsshould be blind, female amd the same age as myself. What do others feel?In terms of information technology I communicate with fellow students over the university website but they have stopped me being able to dothis. I have been unregistered amd isolated. I an a disabled student amdthrown out amd not one staff member within the university has given me an opportunity to speak. So from 17 July until 1 September I an beingpunished without a hearing amd my chance of doing amd passing my course this year are gone. I managed to obtain my course materialelectronically but only after much ado amd a written apology from theuniversity. Someone wrote to the university on my behalf about the course material in alternative format. This was before I managed to get the material in alt ernative format. The university wrote back to thisProfessor telling him that 2 senior members of the law faculty visitedme in my home! I had to get the Open University to write back to theProfessor to say the information that 2 staff members visited me in myhome was not true. A total case of discrimination. I can assure everyonethat I have not had gross misconduct which I have been temporarily if not permanently removed for from the university. There is no guaranteethat my suspension will be lifted. -original message- Subject: [access-uk] Re: action for blind people employment officers From: "martin wilsher" <m.wilsher@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: 30/07/2009 6:04 pm HIBarbra and all.I am in a similar situation to will, and have gone for job interviews and also have gone on govt schemes to help get into work. Now let merelay aa few stories. I went on the new deal for disabled people. TheDEA basically threw me at employers and said, the law says you cannotdiscriminate, so employ him. Most employers were enthusiastic until they actually had to do soemthing to help me over and above their usual, then they binned me, after about three days in one case. Then I went onanother scheme that afbp told me was accessible to blind. Turned outthey weren't, and that they were in it for the EU money. I went in dressed in a suit, with laptop, copy of jaws on pendrive, for SATOGO andSA weren't known to me then, and with NRA in hand. I was first asked,where's your carer, then when I told them I'd lived on my own for years, they dropped that question. I explained about jaws for windows, and about what it was. They wouldn't let me install it. In the end, I had to jobsearch with my own computer. They could not even make the course amterials in accessible format. About the only thing this place did was give me funding to do voluntary work with a riding stable. Now they were meant to come to the stable to check I was actually doingthe work, and did they? No. They were meant to get in touch with myboss, but tdid they? No. I spent six mmonths doing my part of the thing, while they did nothing. This was another govt scheme btw, and at one point, they tried to claim that giving me an ethernet cable to allow me to connect to their intrnet was accessibily, and they'd complied with the Dda because of this. Hmm, no. AFBP blew hot air at this company, but that was it. And yes, this was new labour. I am going for an nvq this september, and I wonder if AFBP will help me if I get into trouble with access? Probably not. ** To leave the list, click on the immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe] ** If this link doesn't work then send a message to: **
