| Abstract | The manual provides access to provisions of federal law and regulations concerning access by persons with disabilities to higher education programs and facilities. It also includes texts of 11 presentations given at a 1979-80 series of workshops by the American Association of University Professors. An introduction, "The Faculty Role: New Responsibilities in Assuring Program Access" by P. Jastram, introduces Part I, which includes: the text of relevant federal regulations for Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973; a report by the National Association of College and University Business Officers titled "Issues and Answers for Implementing Section 504"; a report on the United States Supreme Court decision in Southeastern Community College versus Davis allowing professional schools to impose physical qualifications for admission; a summary of characteristics and functional limitations of common disabilities; a reference listing of faculty resource persons; a listing of 42 resource organizations; and a bibliography of about 50 items. Part II contains workshop presentations by P. Jastram, G. McCombs, A. Degraff, N. Hoffman, and R. Carothers. They cover such topics as the philosophy of academic accommodation, pre-admission inquiry, the Davis case, learning disabilities, faculty accommodation under Section 504, and procedures and strategies for developing program access and involving faculty.
