	NCD - People with Disabilities and Postsecondary Education
		Researchers and practitioners in the field of disability and postsecondary education have amassed substantial data which is evidence of the great strides made since legislators first recognized the rights of people with disabilities and also of the value of their participation in and completion of postsecondary education.
		The cost of higher education in America is an increasingly expensive proposition and has in fact become too onerous for most students and their families to handle without the procurement of financial aid in the form of scholarships, grants, or loans.
		Related to the issue of postsecondary training of personnel is the issue of the lack of higher education teachers and the insufficient teaching preparation college and university faculty receive (www.c-c-d.org, September 3, 2003).

	Teachers-postsecondary
		Educational qualifications for postsecondary teacher jobs range from expertise in a particular field to a Ph.D, depending on the subject being taught and the type of educational institution.
		Postsecondary teachers instruct students in a wide variety of academic and vocational subjects beyond the high school level that may lead to a degree or to improvement in one’s knowledge or career skills.
		Educational requirements for teachers are generally the highest at 4-year research universities while experience and expertise in a related occupation is the principal qualification at career and technical institutes.

	ADA Q & A: Section 504 & Postsecondary Education (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		It is crucial that students and their advocates become knowledgeable about their rights and responsibilities in postsecondary education because, although protections exist, the student has considerably more responsibility to request and design their own accommodations.
		Postsecondary schools can do this in a number of ways: by providing architectural access, providing aids and services necessary for effective communication, and by modifying policies, practices and procedures.
		It is a school's responsibility, however, to educate their faculty about the purpose of accommodations and their legal obligations, and to assist them with the logistics of providing accommodations.

	Higher Education Community Letter on Department of Education's Strategic Plan
		For example, while the Department of Education may, in working with states, be able to "publish a national education performance" report for elementary and secondary education, it will be unable to do so with colleges and universities, as proposed under Objective 1.1.
		The quality of higher education is the responsibility of institutions, accrediting agencies, and for public institutions, state governments and this approach has served the nation well.
		Indeed, the Department of Education has focused its limited quality assurance role in postsecondary education to matters directly related to ensuring the taxpayer and student aid recipient that Title IV funds are properly managed.

	Higher education - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Higher education is education provided by universities, vocational universities (community colleges, liberal arts colleges, and technical colleges, etc.) and other collegial institutions that award academic degrees, such as career colleges.
		Higher education includes teaching, research and social services activities of universities, and within the realm of teaching, it includes both the undergraduate level (sometimes referred to as tertiary education) and the graduate (or postgraduate) level (sometimes referred to as graduate school).
		Higher education is therefore very important to national economies, both as a significant industry in its own right, and as a source of trained and educated personnel for the rest of the economy.

		As of the mid-1990s, Kentucky had succeeded in sending her African-American students to postsecondary institutions at roughly the same rate as the white population; approximately 10 percent of Kentucky high school students are minority group members and about 60 percent of high school graduates—whites and African Americans—pursue some form of postsecondary schooling.
		From 1966 to 1980, for example, national higher education enrollment rose from 6.4 million students to 12.1 million, a rough doubling of the numbers.(11) Not surprisingly, total higher education revenues rose dramatically during this same period, from $7.4 billion nationally in 1965-66 to $42.2 billion in 1980-81.
