Higher Education: Higher Education for People with Disabilities
People with disabilities are those who have some mental or physical limitations. Such people need financial assistance to become self-sufficient, which could be in terms of educational assistance or equal employment opportunities in the economy (Suppes & Wells, 2020). The functional impairment, if not addressed accurately by national or federal governments, could amplify the gap in progress between normal and disabled people.
The United States instituted several legislations to ensure that disabled individuals enjoy the common benefits and public service facilities just like normal people. The 1990 Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) certified standards for treating such individuals and reasonable accommodation in educational institutes (Suppes & Wells, 2020). It was established that physical barriers should become their limitations for contributing well to the countrys economy.
In addition, the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) was also formed for the same purpose as sensitivity to this issue needed to be addressed (Suppes & Wells, 2020). IDEA clarified that the term handicap should not be used as it appears demeaning to the affected individuals. It seemed inappropriate to discriminate against disabled people even using mere words.
Certain organizations today are working for equal opportunities for healthcare and the social inclusion of disabled people. One of the most prominent examples is Self Advocates Becoming Empowered (SABE) USA.

They must have the flexible choice of choosing guardianship and enjoying the benefit of individualized services (Navigate Life Texas, n.d.).
In contemporary times, including disabled people in the name of welcoming diversity has become a challenge. On campuses, creating a culture that could include disabled people needs a comprehensive and holistic approach so that students also understand the gravity of the concern (Shaewitz & Crandall, 2020). Disabled students have reported that they still do not feel a sense of belonging in the classrooms and feel the risk of leaving. Diversity-inclusion needs building a culture that must start from a higher authority…

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
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
Much like the argument of Carnoy (2005), Singh asserts the huge importance of education in a globalized structure. This article also resonates the disagreements of Carnoy (2005) and Kwiek (2001) -- i.e. The positive and negative effects of globalization in higher education with the author taking the side of Carnoy in the belief that higher education positively implicates a nation's economy. Unlike McPherson & Schapiro (2002), who argued against privatization
