Patricia and Others you may be interested in the following. I posted the e-mail from the publishers re the availability of the electronic text book for my course. The publishers suggested that my tutor might contact them on my behalf or Librarian etc. Anyway I wanted other students who were without the text to know of its availability. I had also posted my tutor's response to me which did not go down well at all. Note, as in this e-mail I did not put up his name but left where he had signed himself as Glen. First of all I was surprised that he had access to the students' forum. Anyway he got my posting removed such is the power of tutors over disabled students. this landed in my Inbox last night.
From: To: eleanorburke@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx Cc: j.e.goodey@xxxxxxxxxx Sent: Saturday, June 06, 2009 10:21 PM Eleanor, I have seen a conference posting by you pasting my response to your latest email. I do not see why you found the need to put this on the conference. It identifies me by reference to "tutor" If I cannot be confident that emails will not be publicised then I will not feel obliged to respond to any further. Having done all I can for you Eleanor I am most disappointed at your actions here. As ever Glen There then went up a notice on the students' forum which reads as follows: Hi All,I have unapproved the two messages sent by Eleanor as they appear to contravene the CoC in that they contain copies of messages from a third party without permission. I'd like to remind everyone not to copy or quote from
those messages if you have access to them. Cheers :That is a disgrace in my opinion. There was nothing said by me that should not be said and what was said was simply said in the e-mails from Sweet and Maxwell and my tutor to me after reading the notice. I did not comment on what he had said at all, simply left the readers to draw their own conclusions. The named person to whom he Cc the e-mail is the Chair of the law programme at the Open University. If anyone feels like writing to this person on my behalf then please do. I feel my Human Rights and Freedom of Speech were curtailled here.
