First-to-Second-Year Persistence of Students With Disabilities in Postsecondary Institutions in the United States

Using interactive digital maps is now common practice for most universities. Increasingly, more users are introduced to their academic workplaces through online content such as Google Street View and virtual tours. Students with disabilities depend on environmental information to navigate the barriers they face on campus. While most webmasters for postsecondary institutions in the United States know their legal obligations for accommodation in the delivery of web content, legal conformance does not necessarily reflect awareness for social or spatial considerations in the design of campus digital maps. This study discusses an accessibility audit and content analysis of these interactive maps.

Second Year

The outlook for world industrial production—and consequently in the long run for world trade-is, if anything, a little more cheerful than it was in November. The prospect is still that the rise in both will be slower than in recent years; but the risk that there might be no rise at all is much smaller than it was. First, the fears of any appreciable dip in the United States economy this year have largely evaporated. Then, for the second year running, industrial production in EEC countries, after apparently flattening off in the middle of the year, rose in the fourth quarter; this adds some confirmation to the forecast of a reasonable rise in EEC output next year.

Second Chance

This article documents availability, accreditation, institution type, and geographical distribution of postsecondary education in prison across the United States. Using descriptive analysis, we report the total number of postsecondary institutions currently providing credit-bearing coursework to incarcerated people and discuss the influence of the federal Second Chance Pell Pilot Program on these findings. Focusing on issues of equity and quality, we use a critical framework to broadly assess the current status of the field and to document what constitutes postsecondary education in prison. In conclusion, we provide implications and suggestions for expanding quality postsecondary educational opportunity for incarcerated college students.
