Final test

Question 4 - justification for discrimination

The Act states that discrimination against a disabled person can be justified if it is necessary to maintain academic standards or if there are other reasons that are substantial and material. Therefore it is likely to be lawful to ... :

A) reject all applications to a journalism course from students with dyslexia;
B) require all students with dyscalculia who apply to do any numerate subject to sit a numeracy test regardless of their other qualifications;
C) require that all students on certain courses do a combination of examination and coursework assessments because this reflects a range of contrasting skills that have been identified as essential to such courses;
D) reject applications for a degree in archaeology from wheelchair users.
