New Expectations for Fair Practice. Suggestions for Institutional Review.
El-Khawas, Elaine H.
In view of changing expectations about fair practice, a variety of voluntary initiatives are now needed, and the American Council on Education urges that all institutions systematically review their current procedures and, where necessary, improve them to ensure fair treatment for students. This document is intended to help institutions review current policies and practices affecting students in eight areas of institutional activity that have recently come under criticism: official publications; admissions and recruitment; financial assistance; recordkeeping; instructional programs and requirements; career counseling; grievance procedures; and student services and student conduct. The examples of good practice offered in each of these areas are neither required nor recommended. They simply illustrate approaches that some institutions have found suitable to their circumstances. Emphasis is on effective communication and the principle of fair practice. (LBH)
