I remember this situation, and there are thankfully many solutions.
1. Disability rep for your academic dept (these guys are either really good or awful, so worth a shot).

2. Disability dept at uni (the biggie). They can put pressure on the member of staff officially.

3. Failing those, the student union.

I had a blokey who had just started that year (from another, much larger uni) that initially refused because "he wanted people to turn up to the lectures". I got to step 2 and things got fixed: and I hope he eventually realises that the attendance rate for our classes is double what he is used to!

One guy I had no chance though: *his* lecture prompts were illegible scribbles that were many years old, and often misplaced: but I had sympathy there. He did however scan all the example worked questions up for people, so it was a case of "can't" rather than "wont".

Yeah, thankfully it's been remedied now
But I hate to think of all the people struggling who don't stand up for themselves...

Absolutely, very well put.
I have a similar problem and carry my camera so I can photograph whiteboards. Nobody's complained yet.

My training as a tutor was big on the diversity/inclusion stuff. If lecturers aren't making their teaching accessible to everyone then they're not doing the job.
