Author

Central Texas Coll., Killeen. and Dahlberg, Maurine

Abstract

This manual is designed to assist vocational educators in meeting the needs of students preparing for careers in nontraditional occupations. Discussed first are the effects of sex bias and stereotyping on employment and earning patterns, barriers to nontraditional training, and the role of vocational education in equal access. Discussed in a chapter on recruitment strategies are vocational counseling, publicity efforts, and special outreach activities. Various retention strategies are described, including increasing awareness of equal access issues, using materials and instructional techniques that include nontraditional students, identifying role models, and providing support services. Covered in a chapter on placement strategies are job development, student preparation, and follow-up procedures. The final chapter reports on a Texas survey, the Equal Access Survey, that examined the experiences and opinions of postsecondary vocational instructors, counselors, and nontraditional students as well as of nontraditional workers and their employers. Concluding the guide are a bibliography and appendixes listing resources for equal access information and materials and a suggested agenda for an equal access workshop. (MN)

Dahlberg, Sandra L.

Subjects
*HIGHER education, *HIGHER education & state, *PUBLIC universities & colleges, *PUBLIC finance
Abstract

This article examines the status of higher education in Texas and how the local government opted to solve the crisis in higher education. During the economic decline following the September 11, 2001 terrorist attack on America, the government of Texas enacted budget cuts to balance its finances. These budget cuts, according to the author, have greatly affected the condition of universities in the area. With the worsening economic crisis facing the state, the Texas legislature decided to increase tuition fees and deregulate tuition at public universities in lieu of raising taxes. The impact of the state's economic condition and the state government's economic policies on higher education is further highlighted in the article.
