A practical, all-in-one guide covering higher education law as it affects students, faculty and non-faculty employees, and administrators. The publication provides a useful resource that reflects trends in the law, details current case law on a particular subject, and provides guidance on institutional policy for both public and private higher education institutions.This is an excellent text for courses in higher education law, providing board members, administrators, faculty, and students with a basis for informed decision making that will reduce the risk of liability through a preventive-law approach. The 3rd Edition contains a new chapter on religious colleges and universities, a complete listing of hundreds of cases cited, constitutional and federal statute references. Study questions and answers are provided upon request in separate guides (pdfs) for use by instructors, as well as a sample course syllabus.
