Cuts to essential grant funding for disabled students in England will put disabled students’ studies at risk. Proposed cuts to Disabled Students’ Allowances (DSAs) in 2015 will redefine disability and damage the validity of equality indicators.

Abstract

Cuts to essential grant funding for disabled students in England will put disabled students’ studies at risk. Proposed cuts to Disabled Students’ Allowances (DSAs) in 2015 will redefine disability and damage the validity of equality indicators. As a result, the needs of many disabled students may be systematically overlooked, leading to unequal outcomes for students, academia and wider society.
