I used to work in a university, and had to oversee a system (alone) where I helped students submit convoluted forms and gather evidence for ‘extenuating circumstances’ forms for 20,000+ students with mountains of evidence that were still usually rejectedhttps://twitter.com/HPS_Vanessa/status/1247404953930522624 …

Also a student who didn’t want to give her new address for her women’s shelter despite me testifying I’d taken her their myself and called social services to collect her kids from school. One fucking assignment, and they capped her at 40% when she was scoring firsts.

Did you see the physical death certificate? Surely the fact that the student was able to get their hands on an important document indicates that they were close to the deceased?

You’d think. But their decisions were lazy and utterly arbitrary. Particularly strict on single parents. Just awful. Also expelled a student with high grades who was caught sleeping in the library because he was homeless.

Also, there was one of me in a university with a high level of non-traditional students with chaotic lives, and they were 10x as strict as Warwick, who allowed individual tutors to grant extensions

I remember once threatening to resign from the mitigating circumstances committee if we did not give an extension to a student who had experienced a traumatic pregnancy that ended in abortion because she didn’t have medical evidence. Bureaucracies must be fed.
