Govt finally gets their ass into gear, and Ryan can go to Uni!

Well in case you were worried that we were still living in a country where disabled people weren’t expected to go to Uni until they were 21, you can now rest easy again. Thanks to a hasty Cabinet meeting to correct an archaic funding anomaly which prevented Ryan Leitch going to Uni, Ryan can now get funding for the support he needs, and start his Geography degree.
Good stuff, I reckon, but wow – not before time!

Now it’s MIT students’ turn to have a bad day instead…

I wonder how “a slowing of the turnaround time of notetakers’ notes being delivered to students” would help – perhaps the notetakers write half as fast and then get paid half as much?
I was going to give MIT the benefit of the doubt and say that maybe they aggregate the credits of the parttimers into the EFTS figures, but even so… I know it's useless to rely on such quantification.
Ryan's original story was what led me onto this website in the first place. I'm jealous… Nothing can beat the sheer joy of learning… and he's just starting out.
