Is this a problem with ARIA implementation on authoring site or a problem with Jaws?

Hello everyone

A shortcut question (I have not analyzed this code, I am coming up to
speed with ARIA specifications, but I am as curious as George).
The following page has an "expand/collapse" text link (Javascript I assume)
http://www.ncsu.edu/grad/tuition-residency/
I have also seen this elsewhere.
Expanding the text is no problem at all, but the problem is that Jaws
will not tell me whether said text is expanded or not i.e. the state
of the link is not announced.
Is this a lack of ARIA implementation or is this something that is
available, but Jaws does not pick up on?
Thanks
