The University of New Brunswick’s Faculty of Law is facing complaints from a student and a graduate, who allege discrimination due to inadequate accommodations for their disabilities. UNB law student Morgan Higginson explained to CBC that she was told to choose between accommodations, while graduate Nicholas Frost said that it took three years to receive approval for all of his accommodations. They both expressed that they want UNB to revise its disability-related policy and add an appeals process; Frost added that he hopes the complaint that he filed with the New Brunswick Human Rights Commission will result in changes at the law school. UNB President Paul Mazerolle said that the university’s Student Accessibility Centre “works closely with the students from all faculties … to ensure that students with documented disabilities receive reasonable accommodations.”
