Adapting to the Revolution of Equal Opportunity for the Handicapped.

Bailey, Cornelia W.

New Directions for Higher Education, n25 p81-111 1979

Federal regulations regarding the handicapped pose problems for recipients of federal aid, but higher education's reactions have been more positive than negative. The principle problems seem to be compliance costs, the need for interpretation of the regulations, and difficulties in the areas of admissions and academic requirements. (Author/JMD)
