Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Issues pertaining to increasing government regulation of higher education, monetary and nonmonetary costs of such regulation, and court cases and legislation that illustrate the academic autonomy versus governmental interference conflict are considered in this book by a circuit judge. It is suggested that although colleges and universities have been involved in governmental regulations and court suits in the 1970s, they have fared well, especially when their dependence on governmental agencies for funding is considered. It is claimed that the criticism that the implementation of federal regulations is draining schools of too much money has not been substantiated. However, no one is sure how much federal regulation costs. It is suggested that as a critical element in society, education cannot expect to continue to be left completely autonomous, particularly since educational institutions have contributed to social injustices. One approach to determine the impact of governmental regulations is to study court opinions that have faced the conflict between the government's desire to implement public policies and the academicians' desire to remain autonomous from governmental interference. Significant legal developments in the following areas of special concern to educators are reviewed: employment discrimination, procedural due process for faculty, financial exigency as a ground for dismissal, procedural due process for students, Title IX, and the Rehabilitation Act of 1973. It is concluded that these developments demonstrate that the doctrine of academic abstention has remained substantially intact. It is predicted that in the next decade the disruptive effects of external regulations will likely decrease. Views expressed by the Sloan Commission on Government and Higher Education are considered. A bibliography is appended. (SW)

Book Synopsis Democracy and the Academy by : Robert Weissberg
Download or read book Democracy and the Academy written by Robert Weissberg and published by Nova Publishers. This book was released on 2000 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Treatises on democracy in higher education are hardly original undertakings in today's troubled, often acrimonious campus environments. All the "hot button" issues -- racial preferences in admissions, sexual harassment, government funding, multiculturalism, speech codes, even formulating the core curriculum -- sooner or later drag in "democracy". In fact, academic democracy has become a virtual scholarly mini-industry. The authors bring a breath of fresh perspectives to this expansive subject, a collection of analyses written by scholars seldom invited to prestigious conferences dominated by eminent presidents, trustees, provosts, and all the other educational "leaders" who normally define pubic discourse at a safe distance from the classroom. The authors eschew the customary offering of high-sounding speeches, platitudes and rhapsodizing about the democratic role of education, especially well-funded education.
Book Synopsis The Trials of Academe by : Amy Gajda
Download or read book The Trials of Academe written by Amy Gajda and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2009-10-30 with total page 347 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Once upon a time, virtually no one in the academy thought to sue over campus disputes, and, if they dared, judges bounced the case on grounds that it was no business of the courts. Tenure decisions, grading curves, course content, and committee assignments were the stuff of faculty meetings, not lawsuits. Not so today. As Amy Gajda shows in this witty yet troubling book, litigation is now common on campus, and perhaps even more commonly feared. Professors sue each other for defamation based on assertions in research articles or tenure review letters; students sue professors for breach of contract when an F prevents them from graduating; professors threaten to sue students for unfairly criticizing their teaching. Gajda’s lively account introduces the new duo driving the changes: the litigious academic who sees academic prerogative as a matter of legal entitlement and the skeptical judge who is increasingly willing to set aside decades of academic deference to pronounce campus rights and responsibilities. This turn to the courts is changing campus life, eroding traditional notions of academic autonomy and confidentiality, and encouraging courts to micromanage course content, admissions standards, exam policies, graduation requirements, and peer review. This book explores the origins and causes of the litigation trend, its implications for academic freedom, and what lawyers, judges, and academics themselves can do to limit the potential damage.

Book Synopsis Courtrooms and Classrooms by : Scott M. Gelber
Download or read book Courtrooms and Classrooms written by Scott M. Gelber and published by JHU Press. This book was released on 2016-02-29 with total page 259 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A stunningly original history of higher education law. Conventional wisdom holds that American courts historically deferred to institutions of higher learning in most matters involving student conduct and access. Historian Scott M. Gelber upends this theory, arguing that colleges and universities never really enjoyed an overriding judicial privilege. Focusing on admissions, expulsion, and tuition litigation, Courtrooms and Classrooms reveals that judicial scrutiny of college access was especially robust during the nineteenth century, when colleges struggled to differentiate themselves from common schools that were expected to educate virtually all students. During the early twentieth century, judges deferred more consistently to academia as college enrollment surged, faculty engaged more closely with the state, and legal scholars promoted widespread respect for administrative expertise. Beginning in the 1930s, civil rights activism encouraged courts to examine college access policies with renewed vigor. Gelber explores how external phenomena—especially institutional status and political movements—influenced the shifting jurisprudence of higher education over time. He also chronicles the impact of litigation on college access policies, including the rise of selectivity and institutional differentiation, the decline of de jure segregation, the spread of contractual understandings of enrollment, and the triumph of vocational emphases.
Book Synopsis Suing Alma Mater by : Michael A. Olivas
Download or read book Suing Alma Mater written by Michael A. Olivas and published by JHU Press. This book was released on 2013-07-01 with total page 309 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This careful reading of six legal cases in American higher education is an essential primer for understanding contemporary litigation. Winner of the Steven S. Goldberg Award for Distinguished Scholarship in Education Law of the Education Law Association Although much has been written about U.S. Supreme Court decisions involving higher education, little has been said about the foundational case law and litigation patterns emerging from the lower courts. As universities become increasingly legislated, regulated, and litigious, campuses have become testing grounds for a host of constitutional challenges. From faculty and student free speech to race- or religion-based admissions policies, Suing Alma Mater describes the key issues at play in higher education law. Eminent legal scholar Michael A. Olivas considers higher education litigation in the latter half of the twentieth century and the rise of "purposive organizations,” like the American Civil Liberties Union and the Alliance Defense Fund (now known as the Alliance Defending Freedom), that exist to advance litigation. He reviews more than 120 college cases brought before the Supreme Court in the past fifty years and then discusses six key cases in depth. Suing Alma Mater provides a clear-eyed perspective on the legal issues facing higher education today.

Book Synopsis The Law and Higher Education by : Michael A. Olivas
Download or read book The Law and Higher Education written by Michael A. Olivas and published by . This book was released on 2006 with total page 1088 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Now in its third edition, this book reflects the extraordinary growth in "the law of higher education" and the accompanying rise in scholarship and commentary on higher education law and governance. The case selection reflects major themes and issues. To this end, cases with interesting facts but less precedential value, news accounts of fascinating developments, and insights and articles from scholars and practitioners have also been used. The result is a unique book on a rapidly growing area of law and society. "Despite Professor Olivas's caution about making comparisons between this work and the acknowledged standard treatise in the field (William Kaplin's Law and Higher Education), these two volumes should be viewed by attorneys, academicians, and administrators as complementary. Unlike a treatise, the Olivas casebook gives the reader a comprehensive array of cases and court decisions on these subjects. Professor Olivas writes overviews to provide contextual detail and history... [Chapter 2 is] an excellent example of the prudent use of cases... [Chapter 3] contains a panoply of material taken from a variety of sources about fascinating episodes, disputes, and court cases... This is rich material..." -- Bimonthly Review of Law Books, on the first edition"The Law and Higher Education... has become not merely a reference, but an archive in its own right." -- Scott Chafin, Media Reviews, on the second edition"In both the casebook and the teachers' manual, the author's sense of humor, knowledge of popular culture, and breadth of knowledge about higher education come out clearly and loudly. Olivas is an attorney who knows both administrative practice and the law and is effectively able to pass that knowledge on to his readers." -- NASPA Journal, 2007
