Thesis (Ed.D.)--University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2003.

This study examined the extent to which disability services providers at community colleges in Illinois agreed that six conditions identified by Mazmanian and Sabatier (1983a, 1983b, 1983c) as essential to successful policy implementation had been met, the extent to which they agreed their institutions had met the goals of the Americans With Disabilities Act (ADA), and the extent to which they were in compliance with the legislation. Using a researcher-developed instrument, disability services providers at 42 of the 48 (88%) community colleges in Illinois were interviewed via telephone. Content validity was established by a three-member panel of experts and reliability estimates were calculated for scales associated with the specified constructs.Subjects--Topical Terms:

520 $a This study examined the extent to which disability services providers at community colleges in Illinois agreed that six conditions identified by Mazmanian and Sabatier (1983a, 1983b, 1983c) as essential to successful policy implementation had been met, the extent to which they agreed their institutions had met the goals of the Americans With Disabilities Act (ADA), and the extent to which they were in compliance with the legislation. Using a researcher-developed instrument, disability services providers at 42 of the 48 (88%) community colleges in Illinois were interviewed via telephone. Content validity was established by a three-member panel of experts and reliability estimates were calculated for scales associated with the specified constructs.
520 $a Results indicated the majority agreed the law was clear and consistent and agreed on a definition of the theory underlying ADA, though many believed the theory was inadequate to support implementation. A majority agreed their institutions were adequately structured administratively and financially to support implementation of ADA, their presidents were committed to ADA in some but not all areas, and support of some organized groups, key legislators, and chief executives had waned. Almost 90% agreed that their institutions were in compliance and that students with disabilities were integrated into the academic community, although the majority did not have an institution-wide plan to provide for the technological needs of students with disabilities or a policy for making web resources accessible to students with disabilities. Over 80% agreed that discrimination against students with disabilities had been eliminated on their campuses but acknowledged that attitudes of faculty, staff, students, and society are one of the greatest challenges community colleges face in ending discrimination against students with disabilities.
520 $a In examining relationships among constructs, a substantial relationship was found between administrative structure and compliance with the legislation. Correlations between consistency of the institution's strategies for implementing ADA and implementation, elimination of discrimination, and integration were all substantial. The relationship between commitment of implementing officials and elimination of discrimination was also substantial, as was the relationship between compliance with and implementation of the legislation.
