Abstract: A position statement on the rights of adult readers and learners was adopted by the CRLA board in 2002 and published with a theoretical rationale in ["Journal of College Reading and Learning"] "JCRL," Spring 2003. The statement was a guideline for educators seeking to improve the quality of adult education. In 2016, at the request of the board, the original authors contacted CRLA leaders and experts to collaborate on a revision of the statement to reflect current terminology and practice. Postsecondary student rights in the areas of quality instructors, instruction, assessment, and materials were updated and an additional category focusing on institutions was added. The revisions and additions below include references. This new statement was approved by the CRLA board in November, 2016.
