Disability as Diversity in Higher Education
Author: Eunyoung Kim
Publisher: Taylor & Francis
ISBN: 1317287711
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 263
Book Description
Addressing disability not as a form of student impairment—as it is typically perceived at the postsecondary level—but rather as an important dimension of student diversity and identity, this book explores how disability can be more effectively incorporated into college environments. Chapters propose new perspectives, empirical research, and case studies to provide the necessary foundation for understanding the role of disability within campus climate and integrating students with disabilities into academic and social settings. Contextualizing disability through the lens of intersectionality, Disability as Diversity in Higher Education illustrates how higher education institutions can use policies and practices to enhance inclusion and student success.

Allies for Inclusion: Disability and Equity in Higher Education
Author: Karen A. Myers
Publisher: John Wiley & Sons
ISBN: 1118846036
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 135
Book Description
Here is an overview of students with disabilities in postsecondary institutions and the importance of allies in their lives. It is a call to action for faculty, staff, and administrators in all facets of higher education, and emphasizes the shared responsibility toward students with disabilities and toward creating meaningful change. This monograph begins with a look into the future of disability education. How will students create their own identities? Will there be a need for disability accommodations or will a universally designed world eliminate that current necessity? It also looks at the past, with discussions of disability legislation such as the ADA of 1990, the impact of Supreme Court decisions, descriptions of college students with disabilities, and the paradigm shift from the medical “deficit” model of disability to one that focuses on the individual’s lived experience as a social construct. Drawing on theoretical frameworks in multiple disciplines, disability identity development is explained, ally development is defined, and disability services are explored. The monograph ends with a discussion of where disability education is now and how faculty, staff, and administrators will continue to be allies of inclusion for students in the years to come. This is the 5th issue of the 39th volume of the Jossey-Bass series ASHE Higher Education Report. Each monograph is the definitive analysis of a tough higher education issue, based on thorough research of pertinent literature and institutional experiences. Topics are identified by a national survey. Noted practitioners and scholars are then commissioned to write the reports, with experts providing critical reviews of each manuscript before publication.

Disability Attitudes of Postsecondary Faculty Members and Perspectives Regarding Educational Accommodation
Author: Runna Alghazo

Languages : en
Pages : 194
Book Description
The purpose for conducting this research was to assess faculty members' attitudes toward persons with disabilities and toward providing educational accommodation at two mid-sized postsecondary institutions, the University of Mu'tah in the Country of Jordan and Southern Illinois University at Carbondale (SIUC) in the Country of the United States. The study also attempted to examine the possible influence of selected faculty demographic variables: faculty's sex, professional rank, academic discipline, and prior contact with persons with disabilities. Finally, the study assessed the relationship between faculty's attitudes toward persons with disabilities and attitudes toward educational accommodation. Two scales were used to assess faculty attitudes, the Scale of Attitudes toward Disabled Persons (SADP-R) and the General Attitudes toward College Educational Accommodation scale (GACEA). The GACEA scale consisted of two sections: the first section assessed faculty's attitudes toward educational accommodation, and the second section assessed the degree to which faculty thought each of 10 types of educational accommodation were fair. A stratified/systematic random sampling procedure was used to select 252 faculty members from each university. A total of 293 usable surveys were returned, giving are turn rate of 58%. Faculty members at SIUC University expressed more positive attitudes toward persons with disabilities than faculty members at Mu'tah University. There were significant differences in faculty's attitudes toward persons with disabilities based on faculty's sex and discipline when comparing the two universities. Additionally, using the first section of the GACEA scale, there were no significant differences in faculty's attitudes toward educational accommodation based on faculty's sex and discipline when comparing both universities, and both universities expressed positive attitudes toward educational accommodation. Using the second part of the GACEA scale, there were differences in faculty' equitable evaluations when comparing the overall scores of both universities; however, no differences were found when comparing the two universities based on sex and discipline. Results of multiple linear regression analyses indicated that for Mu'tah University, none of the independent variables (i.e., sex, professional rank, academic discipline, and prior contact with persons with disabilities) explained the variance in faculty's attitudes toward persons with disabilities, faculty's attitudes toward educational accommodation, and faculty's equitable evaluation of 10 types of educational accommodation. However, rank, discipline, and prior contact variables were significant predictors of SIUC faculty's attitudes toward persons with disabilities, and sex and discipline variables were significant predictors of faculty's equitable evaluation of 10 types of accommodation. Results of a correlation analyses revealed no significant relationship between faculty's attitudes toward persons with disabilities and attitudes toward educational accommodation at SIUC. However, there was a weak positive relationship between faculty's attitudes toward persons with disabilities and attitudes toward educational accommodation at Mu'tah University. Additionally, no significant relationship between faculty's attitudes toward persons with disabilities and faculty's equitable evaluation was found at both universities.
