Hollander, Patricia A.
The author notes that this chapter deals generally with torts in higher education cases. A tort is usually defined broadly to cover most wrongful civil acts, except breach of contract, that may occur between individuals. The remedy sought in a civil tort action is compensation to the injured party for the damages suffered. The areas discussed here include negligence, defamation, governmental immunity, and governmental responsibility for constitutional violations. (Author/IRT)
