Subject: discontinued from a course for being dyslexic

It seems strange to say that I have been discontinued from a course that is supposed to promote caring. I refer to a Mental health course in the department of nursing at a University in Manchester. I was discontinued from a course six weeks from the end for failing a research assignment. Tutors considered support to be bullying and critisising and instructing me to go and read books about research, I find research as a foriegn language and have difficulty understanding it completely. so to say read a book seems a bazzaar instruction under the circumbstances, and as such I don't feel I got the support that I deserved. My situation has caused a vast response in support of my problem many feel that I have been discriminated against and should seek compansation.but all I want is the qualification that I deserve which in this case is a diploma in mental health nursing. Why should I not fight for my rights and let them discontinue me from the course for being dyslexic?
I was told that I may have to do the course again but need to be secondered. This is not so easy I need to be in the right place at the right time for this. This requires a drop in wages that I can't afford as I have a wife and four children to support.
