Recommendations to New York State for strategies to increase access

9. Management Structure for Continued Collaboration and Implementation (continued)

  • The Steering Committee investigates why larger percentages of students with disabilities enroll in two-year institutions than four-year. The Committee also identifies which two-year colleges are particularly successful in encouraging students with disabilities to pursue bachelor degrees.

  • The Steering Committee continually evaluates funding mechanisms with the goal of developing data-based funding strategies, including data concerning the expenditure of funds for students with disabilities in postsecondary education, coordinated to the greatest extent possible with current federal and state data gathering requirements.

  • The Steering Committee appoints, on an as-needed basis, expert panels to guide future policy discussions.

Outcome

The Committee will be named within six months of the formal adoption of the Task Force Report.
