We the undersigned petition the Prime Minister to Prevent universities from actively discriminating against student choice in technology. More details
Submitted by Nathan L. Reynolds – Deadline to sign up by: 06 May 2007 – Signatures: 46
More details from petition creator
Currently universities can discriminate against potential students by enforcing strict requirements on study-related technology. For example, The Open University requires that all students must have a Microsoft Operating System, a Cassette Player, and a VHS Video Recorder/Player.
An OS should be a personal choice for each individual to make. Cassette Players, and VHS machines are not available in High Street shops.
Universities should cater to the top three Operating Systems, and publish study media in current consumer standard formats.
