Education Opportunity

This chapter discusses the historic progression of American higher education and its role in opportunity and work. There are social and economic costs in higher education's current opportunity structure, in that many Americans are excluded by campus models, traditions, and values coupled with broader societal norms. For them, the higher education opportunity pathway remains an opportunity monopoly beyond their reach. Clayton Christiansen's theory of disruptive innovation is referenced to reframe this education-opportunity debate.

Education Opportunity

The Higher Education Opportunity Act of 2008 (HEOA) contains several important provisions that make postsecondary education more accessible and affordable for young adults with disabilities. This is particularly true for students with intellectual disabilities, as the law created new comprehensive transition and postsecondary programs and provided access to federal student aid to this population for the first time. This article presents a brief summary of the original Higher Education Act of 1965, as well as a detailed summary of the HEOA. Portions of the legislation specific to students with disabilities are highlighted, and specific implications for rehabilitation counselors and pre-service students are presented.

Expansion Of Higher Education

With higher education entering the public’s vision, the expansion of higher education opportunities has gradually become a hot topic. The lower class is eager to achieve class mobility through this opportunity, while the upper class firmly grasps the few high-quality places in higher education. What role will the expansion of higher education opportunities plays in the overall social stratification? This paper discusses the impact of the expansion of higher education opportunities on social stratification from the upper class and the lower class.
