Achieving a Serious Commitment to Adult Learners.
Stoel, Carol
New Directions for Higher Education, n29 p1-7 1980
Recent trends in institutional accommodation of adult students in postsecondary education are discussed, and five key issues are identified: integration, transition, developmental research, leadership and faculty redirection, and fair pricing of programs. It is argued that a commitment to serving learners of all ages gives institutions a new sense of purpose. (JSR)
