Who has access to higher education today? At what financial and
personal cost? Based on what conditions and criteria? How do
students describe and interpret their experiences? And how can
institutions facilitate and constrain successful participation and
completion? These research studies extend current understandings of
what it is to be a student in higher education by embracing the
dynamic relationship between students as agents and institutions as
living structures which impact on their lives. traditional
students, researchers explore how and why institutional rhetoric of
inclusion, engagement, gender, and access may or may not be
reflected in the reality of students' experiences. Student Affairs
moves from theory to application by suggesting realistic strategies
for addressing the challenges surrounding the interrelation of
students and institutions. Each essay analyzes issues of access and
participation in programs ranging from community college
developmental studies to graduate studies. has occurred in the
social organization of postsecondary education, and how much more
change is required to meet the challenge of equitable access and
inclusion. Students and scholars of higher education, educational
policymakers, and current secondary and undergraduate students and
their parents will find this book essential reading. The results,
implications, and recommendations offered in each chapter will be
readily transferable throughout North America and beyond.
