Universal access
Universal access to education is the ability of all people to have
equal opportunity in education, regardless of their background or physical disabilities. The term is used both in
college admission for the middle and lower classes, and in
assistive technology for the disabled. Some critics find this idea an example of "
political correctness". For a history of the
20th century development in the
United States of universal access to
colleges, see the book
The Big Test.
