[stylist] descriminative against voices.

[helene ryles]

When I was at Uni I had an interpreter and a note taker. I found it
hard to follow lecture even with these things since a lot of it was
audio visually based. I was just missing too much. But there were
several other reasons too. I don't apreciate modern art which is the
type of art the course focused on and other personal reasons besides.
