Description

Law, Policy, and Higher Education Philip T.K. Daniel ISBN 9780769854298

Law, Policy and Higher Education fills an important gap in the casebook market by offering materials that support timely and meaningful discussion of both legal and policy issues affecting colleges and universities.

Chapters 1 and 2 provide a foundational overview of higher education, examining the laws and policies that define its role and responsibilities in society. Chapters 3 and 4 focus on the employment relationship between colleges and universities and their faculty and staff. Chapters 5, 6, and 7 address the rights and responsibilities of students.

Chapter 8 explores the ways in which universities both influence and are influenced by intercollegiate athletics. Chapters 9, 10, and 11 analyze the impact of government regulation on higher education, as well as institutional efforts to shape public policy and manage university resources in furtherance of institutional goals. Chapter 12 examines intellectual property issues, with particular attention to faculty rights, public–private partnerships, and the ownership and commercialization of research. Chapter 13 highlights the experiences of individuals with special needs—an often overlooked and underserved population within the university setting.

Together, these chapters provide a comprehensive framework for understanding the complex legal and policy landscape of higher education.
