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."
