Harrison, Shari. 2003. "Creating a Successful Learning Environment for Postsecondary Students with Learning Disabilities: Policy and Practice." Journal of College Reading and Learning, Vol. 33.
Harrison argues that college and university instructors should examine how they teach to ensure that their instructional approaches make it possible for all kinds of learners to succeed. She gives specific examples of skills instructors can incorporate into their college classroom, and that approaching the classroom in this way will help ensure that all students of a diverse college population have the opportunity to succeed academically.

In this article, the authors interviewed thirty students with learning disabilities...
They evaluated the students' understanding of their struggles and looked at the existing literature on the subject. They found that the students were able to become self-reliant students whose needs for special accommodations decreased over time as they learned to cope with their own learning differences.
Milne, Nancy V., and Stage, Frances K. 1996. "Invisible Scholars: Students with Learning Disabilities." Journal of Higher Education, Vol. 67.
Milne and Stage looked at how well programs for students with learning disabilities actually met the needs of the students making use of them and suggested specific things schools could do to empower these students. They suggested that students using school tutors should complete evaluations on the tutors to aid future students in choosing a tutor. They suggested that workshops should be held to educate tutors as well as other instructional staff on the needs of students with learning disabilities. They also suggested that universities help facilitate networking among students with learning disabilities so they can be connected to other students who understand the difficulties they have encountered. They suggested multiple ways schools can increase services for students…
In this article, the authors interviewed thirty students with learning disabilities in order to evaluate their difficulties in three areas: academic, behavioral and emotional. They evaluated the students' understanding of their struggles and looked at the existing literature on the subject. They found that the students were able to become self-reliant students whose needs for special accommodations decreased over time as they learned to cope with their own learning differences.

Congress did more than just reauthorize the Act, though. It also required that state agencies be established that would be able to handle some of the work that accrediting agencies were once expected to do on their own (Crow, 2009). By doing that, it was assumed accreditation would be easy to attain for deserving schools, and the value of being accredited would be seen once again (Crow, 2009). It became
Higher Education 1970 -- 2000 Between 1970 and 2000, many changes took place in higher education. One of the largest ones was among the student population. Many more women started going to college, in some fields eclipsing the men who were attending classes for a better education and a more fulfilling career (Commission, 2006). That was not the only issue where the student body was concerned, though. Another large change was
Auto loans, credit card loans, and mortgages have all declined. Another issue plaguing higher education is how to curtail of abates the influence of these rising costs on the lives of their students. Many of these costs are indirectly correlated to tuition and are therefore uncontrollable in a market subsidized by government. However, many issues are directly related to the tuition, and are therefore controllable. These include student demographics, institution
Higher Education There have been many significant historical events that have affected the higher education system in the United States. There is not space to address them all but three of the most important will be addressed here, in an effort to show how much higher education has changed and the types of adjustments it has gone through over time. The 1947 Truman Commission Report, the 1954 Brown v. Board
Higher Education Investment in Higher Education The literacy rate is one of the important indicators of a developed country hence governments focus on enhancing its infrastructure. There are many challenges to promote higher education as demographic and social factors act as barriers to admission for many candidates. The effect of these factors should be explored so that the negative outcomes can be controlled. Investment in Higher Education Formal education system is considered as one
Medina's arguments very much echo the sentiments of Kwiek (2001). These two authors have argued against the economic forces in a globalized economy getting in the way of educational institutions. Such is the case because it is believed that market forces strip away the autonomy and nation-state ideals propagated in the university. This in turn results to the subordination of education to market forces. Consequently, subordination of education to the
