The State Council of Higher Education Survey

The State Council of Higher Education will be leading an additional study this summer to determine the (i) the needs of the individuals who would benefit from improvements to or increased offerings of inclusive postsecondary education programs at public institutions of higher education; (ii) identify barriers to improving or increasing offerings of inclusive postsecondary education programs at public institutions of higher education, including any breakdowns in or a lack of interagency collaboration and inadequate funding for such programs; (iii) evaluate methods for consistent statewide data collection on student enrollment, completion, and employment outcomes for all students enrolled in inclusive postsecondary education programs; and (iv) provide recommendations for current program enhancements, the creation of new programming at public institutions of higher education, and possible methods to expand informational outreach to families in the Commonwealth.

If you are interested in expanding opportunities for students with intellectual and developmental disabilities through higher education, SCHEV would like for you to be a part of this study. Meetings will take place primarily in August and September. Reach out to Sarahbeth Dreis, sarahbethdreis@schev.edu to learn more.
