| Description: |
This collection reveals how much institutional change has occurred in the social organization of postsecondary education, and how much more change is required to achieve equitable access and inclusion. |
| Synopsis: |
Who has access to higher education today? At what financial andpersonal cost? Based on what conditions and criteria? How do studentsdescribe and interpret their experiences? And how can institutionsfacilitate and constrain successful participation and completion?These research studies extend current understandings of what it isto be a student in higher education by embracing the dynamicrelationship between students as agents and institutions as livingstructures which impact on their lives. Focusing on the diverseexperiences of today's non-traditional and traditional students,researchers explore how and why institutional rhetoric of inclusion,engagement, gender, and access may or may not be reflected in thereality of students' experiences. Student Affairs movesfrom theory to application by suggesting realistic strategies foraddressing the challenges surrounding the interrelation of students andinstitutions.Each essay analyzes issues of access and participation in programsranging from community college developmental studies to graduatestudies. As a whole, this collection is a testament to how muchinstitutional change has occurred in the social organization ofpostsecondary education, and how much more change is required to meetthe challenge of equitable access and inclusion.Students and scholars of higher education, educational policymakers,and current secondary and undergraduate students and their parents willfind this book essential reading. The results, implications, andrecommendations offered in each chapter will be readily transferablethroughout North America and beyond. |
