      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 …

      Dr Vanessa @HPS_Vanessa
      PSA that in the UK university system individual academics are not able to offer deadline extensions. A module leader almost never has the authority to tell a student 'you can hand in a week late'. I know its different in the USA & I think ppl are getting the wrong impression.

      These included students who missed deadlines because their kids were hospitalised, they were wrongfully arrested, or suddenly evicted. Genuinely stupid, discriminatory bymureacratic system.

      This is absolutely not my experience. At my uni everyone is working overtime to reorganise deadlines and sort out problems. The organisation of marking is set in regulations & changes need approval. It has to be fair to all.

      Some do allow professors to grant extensions: this London university centralised it, removed the department from decisions, and were both strict and arbitrary and obsessed with capping students.

          At Warwick, if I had problens, I went to mt course tutor and they agreed new deadlines. This university instantly referred to centralised the academic caseworker who was overworked and ignored in most cases anyway.

          I think you will find that tutors no longer have much discretion. It’s part of most diversity policies & intended to prevent favouritism. Sometimes anti-discrimination regs are a rather blunt instrument.
