Disabilities Legislation Implementation in American Universities.
Kelly, Barry
Journal of Higher Education Policy and Management, v18 n2 p189-206 Nov 1996
To help assess Australian universities' compliance with the Disability Discrimination Act, a study examined implementation in the United States of the Americans with Disabilities Act in five state universities seen as leaders in innovation for students and staff with disabilities. Implications of the American experience for the Australian context are discussed, and specific recommendations for institutional planning are made. (MSE)
