"Man måste trycka på rätt knapp ...ibland orkar man inte" : en studie om några funktionshindrade studenters situation på Lunds universitet

Sammanfattning: This is a study of disabled student’s situation at the University of Lund. The aim was to examine the situation of disabled students by looking at how some of the educations consider the needs of these students and how they experience their own situation. These were the main issues: Are disabled students social discriminated at the University of Lund? How do disabled students experience other student’s behaviour towards them? How do disabled students experience teacher and other staff behaviour towards them? Does the University of Lund honor the Equal Treatment of Students at Universities Act (2001:1286)? We have chosen to interview four disabled students and two welfare officers who are working with disabled students. We have used the interviews, laws and already existing literature to answer our questions and to interpret the results with help of four guide lines adopted by United Nations on how to view and meet disabled people. We did not find that the students in our study were subjected to any serious discrimination. But we did find that the University of Lund do not fully honor the Equal Treatment of Students at Universities Act (2001:1286).
