Points from an Ethical Debate Arising from the Provision of Learning Support for Disabled Students in Higher Education.

Doherty, Bernard

British Journal of Special Education, v23 n4 p162-65 Dec 1996

This article addresses the ethical issues concerned with providing special support services for college students with disabilities, based on experiences in establishing a support program at Anglia Polytechnic University in England. Issues include funding support, the assistant's role in providing tutorial services, possibly unfair advantages gained in receiving such tutorial services, and difficulties determining specific services needed.
