Course Description:
Over the past 20 years, more students with disabilities have been entering the U.S. higher education
system, and they are an increasingly diverse population. This trend is occurring at a time when higher
education is also experiencing greater numbers of college faculty and staff with disabilities, more federal
involvement in disability-related postsecondary issues, and the rise of disability studies as an academic
field. Distinctly different from the K-12 special education system, disability-related issues in higher
education often connect to broader questions about academic integrity, diversity, the purpose of a
college education, and the ways postsecondary education acts as a gatekeeper for society and
professional fields. The purpose of this course is to introduce students to the many ways disability is
constructed in higher education at the individual, institutional, state, and national levels. Disability
studies models and theories, including ableism and universal design, will serve as primary frameworks
for inquiry. This course is highly interdisciplinary and assumes no prior knowledge of disability, disability
studies, or higher education. Students with a personal interest in the topic are welcome; the course is
especially appropriate for those with an interest in postsecondary administration or student affairs,
disability studies, educational law and policy, teaching or transition services in grades 7-12, or
postsecondary disability services.

Required Texts:
This course has two required texts:
 Saks, E. R. (2008). The center cannot hold: My journey through madness. New York, NY:
Hyperion.
 Shaw, S. F., Madaus, J. W., & Dukes, L. L. (2010). Preparing students with disabilities for
college success: A practical guide to transition planning. Baltimore, MD: Paul H. Brookes
Publishing Co.
All other articles and other readings for the course are available online or through BlackBoard.
Website and Listserv:
The course website is available through BlackBoard. This website will only be used for general
course information, a copy of the syllabus, readings, and grades.
A listserv will be used for updates, announcements, and all additional course-related
information. All students will receive details about the listserv via email.
Life or Disability Issues:
Per Syracuse University policy, students who are in need of disability-related academic
accommodations for any kind of disability (e.g., learning disability, psychiatric disability like
depression, Attention Deficit Disorder, or chronic illness) must register with the Office of
Disability Services (ODS), 804 University Avenue, Room 309, 315-443-4498. Students with
authorized disability-related accommodations should provide a current Accommodations
Authorization Letter from ODS to Wendy and review those accommodations with her.
Accommodations, such as extended time on tests, are not provided retroactively; therefore,
planning for accommodations as early as possible is necessary.
In addition to accommodations for disabilities, students should consider any other life
circumstances that many affect their ability to participate in class or complete homework on
time. These may include illness, family issues (e.g., divorce, child care concerns, sick family
members), car or computer problems, etc. Wendy is very willing to negotiate with students
before assignments are due and the semester is well underway. Please keep Wendy apprised of
issues, even if you are not sure they will affect your participation in this course; it’s best to be
prepared for every possible contingency.
ASSIGNMENTS
Academic Integrity:
Academic integrity is an essential core value of the University, and one for which we all share
responsibility. Please review the Syracuse University Student Handbook for university policy
regarding academic integrity. An online version of the Handbook with additional explanations of
plagiarism (with examples) can be found at http://students.syr.edu/handbook. It is your
responsibility to: a) familiarize yourself with the policy; b) be sure you understand how to
appropriately cite sources and what it means to plagiarize; and c) ask for help from campus
writing centers, librarians, your advisor, or your instructor if you need clarification or assistance.
Page 2
Faculty in the School of Education take academic integrity very seriously. Your instructor
considers plagiarism in any assignment as a violation of academic integrity. If you violate the
Academic Integrity policy you will receive a failing grade for the course and be subject to
appropriate disciplinary action.
Grading:
All students will be given letter grades instead of points, and final grades will be calculated based on
points of letter grades (e.g., an “A” = 4.0) and percentages listed below. If students have questions
about their grades, they are encouraged to talk with Wendy Harbour as soon as possible.
Wendy Harbour reserves the right to raise any student’s grade if they show exceptional effort,
creativity, intellectual risk-taking, or marked progress over the course of the semester, and that is
not reflected in the final grade determined through points. A student’s grades will ever be lowered
for any reason except violations of academic integrity.
Final grades in the course will be based on the following:
 Attendance and participation, including notes for two classes
 Facilitating one small-group discussion section
 Reflective questions on readings (ten total)
 Online topic review
 Final research paper

Description of Assignments:
Attendance and Participation:
All students are allowed one unexcused absence. Each time students have an additional
unexcused absence, their participation grade will be marked down (e.g., from an “A” to an “A-“).
The one exception to this: students who are sick should stay home and get well quickly – just
send Wendy Harbour an email before class and your absence will be excused. Please do not
abuse this arrangement, which is in place to protect us from the spread of contagious illnesses
and support the participation of students whose immune systems may be compromised.
Wendy Harbour reserves the right to ask for a doctor’s note for illness-related absences, and to
require make-up assignments as necessary.
Late assignments are never accepted without prior arrangement, and late papers will be marked
down one full grade for each day late (e.g., an “A” paper becomes a “C” paper if it is two days
late). Again, if prior arrangements are made in a timely fashion, late papers may be allowed.
Notetaking
For your participation grade, you will be required to take notes for two classes, and to send
these to the course listserv. Notes assist classmates who have disabilities, are absent from class,
or prefer to participate in class without taking notes themselves. Wendy also uses the notes to
improve instruction. The notes are one way of universally designing instruction for this course.
You may take notes in any format that captures what happened in class, from a traditional
outline, to a mind map or drawing, to a paragraph summary. You will receive an “A” if you do
the assignment and complete it by the beginning of next week’s class. If you do not do the
Page 3
notes, you will receive zero points and will not have a second chance to do them. Late notes are
marked down 1/3 of a grade per day (e.g., one day late is an “A-“). If notes are hand-drawn or
written, students can scan notes into the computer and post them as PDF files; assistance is
available at the technology center helpdesk in the basement of Huntington Hall.
Facilitating Small Group Discussion
We will have small 4-5 person “discussion groups” in class. The purpose of these groups is to discuss the
readings, but also to expand on the readings according to group interests. Groups will meet four times
during the semester (see the syllabus for dates). Each person in class is required to facilitate one
discussion for their group, linking that week’s course readings to an “artifact” of some kind related to
the readings. “Artifacts” can be academic articles, videos, magazine articles, pictures, photographs or
art, newspaper articles, personal stories, poems, research reports, websites, or anything else that
captures some important dimension of the topic being discussed. Facilitators submit their artifact
through the listserv on Tuesday, the week before the discussion, so everyone in their group can review it
(unless the artifacts are physical objects – then please give copies to each group member). If the artifact
is inaccessible to some members of your group or requires explanation, please include a written
description, background, or any other necessary information, consulting with Wendy Harbour about
access, as needed. Discussions should be organized to facilitate meaningful participation from each
member, but can follow any format the facilitator chooses – discussions will usually be 45-60 minutes
long. Facilitators are encouraged to also look at their peers’ reflective questions to see what everyone in
the group is thinking about. Facilitators are also encouraged to make sure everyone has a chance to
participate and/or be heard during the group. Grades will be based on: facilitators sharing artifacts on
time; maintaining a discussion about the readings and artifact in group where all members have a
chance to participate; and facilitating and not lecturing during the discussion.
Reflections Based on the Readings
The purpose of this assignment is to ensure that students complete assigned readings, to promote
discussion, and to assist Wendy and discussion facilitators in making decisions about class content and
pedagogy. For 10 weeks of the course, by noon on the day before class (Monday), you must post one
of the following on the course listserv:
 Three questions based on the readings that will contribute to discussion. These may be any
kind of question, including clarifying questions, but should be throughtful.
 1-2 paragraphs reacting to the readings or reflections on them. This should not be a
summary of the readings – it should state your opinion or reaction to them. The reflection
should focus only on one theme that crosses through multiple readings; because the
reflection is short, it should be focused and succinct.
 A 1-2 paragraph summary and review of a recommended reading, movie, piece of art,
website, or other resource that complements the readings for that week. The posting on
BlackBoard should explain how the additional resource connects to the readings or
complements them in some way (so it is obvious students completed the assigned readings).
Students must demonstrate that they read at least two of the readings, even if questions or comments
mainly focus on one of the readings.
Online Topic Review (Due March 29 by 5pm)
For this assignment, students will choose any topic or question of interest related to disability and
higher education. Students may also choose a specific disability (e.g., learning disabilities) to investigate.
These topics may be very narrow (e.g., “What are some NCAA policies applying to male athletes using
Page 4
Ritalin for ADHD?”) to very broad (e.g., “college students with ADHD”). You will go online and try to find
information that is NOT academic. You must search at least three forms of Internet sources, including,
but not limited to: websites, blogs, YouTube videos, Facebook, Twitter, Wikis, iTunes, online images. To
guide your search, imagine you are someone who really needs this information, and let that guide your
searching – for example, a parent searching for information about financial aid may search for very
different information than a graduate student with a disability. Do not supplement your search with
ANY academic articles or books. You will type up a 3-5 page summary of what you found. This does not
have to be in APA style, will not require references, and may even be bullet points. You will describe:
 Your topic
 How you conducted your search – where you looked for information and how you searched (for
example, tell me which keywords you used)
 Who you imagined as you did the search. Did you imagine yourself searching as a student,
parent, faculty member, college administrator? A person with a disability or nondisabled
person?
 Share 2-5 of the best sources of information about your topic, even if these are not quality
sources you would recommend to others
 Critique what you found. How reliable or complete is this information, and how are you making
that judgment? Who is the intended audience supposed to be? What is the over-arching
attitude about disability itself? Whether it was easy or difficult to find information, why do you
suppose the Internet is/is not a good source of information about your topic? Did sites seem to
be accessible to people with disabilities? Consider the underlying messages about disability and
higher education that may be implied.
Submit your paper directly to Wendy Harbour (wharbour@syr.edu). HINT: this might be a good time to
explore possible topics for your research paper! Please note that we will be discussing general findings
in class, but you do not have to prepare a handout or presentation.
Research Papers/Research Project (Due Tuesday, May 10, 5pm)
For a final project, students will choose any topic of interest related to disability and higher education.
Research papers may address any topic also covered in class, but should focus on a single issue within
that topic (e.g., “The ADA in Higher Education” is too broad, but looking at ADA compliance issues for a
single department or office on campus would be appropriate).
Papers must:
 Be between 10-20 pages; if they are shorter or longer than this, they will be marked down
 Reference at least five peer-reviewed journal articles or three peer-reviewed journal articles
and one non-fiction book; materials from the course may be cited, as well, but will not count
toward the reference requirements. High-quality websites, interviews, and news media are
acceptable sources of information, but do not count as a journal article or book. Note that
these are the minimum expectations.
 Be in APA format
 Discuss the implications or applications of the topic and what students found
 Consider the topic using at least one of the disability studies frameworks introduced in the
course: ableism, models of disability, universal design, etc.
 Focus on one level of analysis (e.g., individual, institutional, state, or national).
Page 5
If students are having trouble thinking of a topic or finding resources, they are encouraged to discuss
this with Wendy Harbour as soon as possible. Remember that librarians in Bird Library are also able to
assist with research needs.
PLEASE NOTE that alternatives to a research paper are allowed. Examples could include (but are not
limited to): developing a website, a research proposal, an art piece or creative writing piece, or a video
presentation. All options must still utilize research as described above for the research paper; art pieces
must have a 5-7 page paper accompanying them, explaining how the art connects to research and a
theoretical framework from the course. If you plan to do a project that is not a standard research paper,
discuss your plans with Wendy as soon as possible, to negotiate any necessary components and how
this will be graded.
