University of Edinburgh was very impressive as they racked in the top 200 in the world, the vast degrees and classes they offers are impressive. Although, I was impressed; I was also disappointed to hear that they’re struggling with two things, one of which other local Universities doesn’t seem to have an issue with. When it comes to adding a line that will enable the students to declaring a disability on the application. I was shocked to I hear the issue they were having at the University of Edinburgh. It appears to be minor issues to us but unsolvable for them which doesn’t seem right for such an elite University to have such an issue. It’s uncertain why the University officials don’t want to add a line in the application to ask the applicants to declare if they have a disability and what assistance they will need. I don’t see why that’s an issue with just adding it on the application. At first I thought it was for legal reasons but after visiting Napier and QMU I realized it’s not a legal matter to ask the students to declare on their application as the two other Universities are asking their potentials students and it’s making a major difference for them with being able to assist their disables students and also have better statistics.
My second concern was the safety plan for fire. I was curious to know why they’re unable to come up with a system. I think they should be able to use a bracelet for an individual who needs assistance to evacuate to activate the bracelet by pressing the bottom in case of an emergency which will locate their location and a team should be train of how to help to individuals during an emergency. It may sound pretty simple to me since I’m not the one dealing with the issues. However, I don’t see all the barriers that enabling them to resolves these two issues so i’m enable to make a fair judgment.
