As wider access to higher education becomes a top priority for
governments in the UK and around the world, this ground-breaking
piece of work raises the challenging questions that policy-makers,
vice-chancellors and government officials are reluctant to ask. A
highly qualified team of authors have closely analyzed rates of
participation and the experiences of disabled students in higher
education over a two year period. They compare the responses of
eight different universities to the new anti-discriminatory
practice, contrasting their social profiles, academic missions,
support systems for disabled students and approaches for the
implementation of change. Change comes under particular scrutiny,
with a close examination of each university's interpretation of
'reasonable adjustments', and the extent to which they have
modified their campuses and teaching accordingly. Student case
studies are used throughout to illustrate the real impact of
institutional responses to the legislation. Disabled Students in
Higher Education will make fascinating reading for students of
education, social policy, politics, and disability studies, and for
those working towards accredited university teacher status.
