Liability.
Hollander, Patricia A.
Recent court cases involving tort liabilities of institutions of higher education are discussed in this chapter. Issues addressed include negligence citations for injuries in physical education classes, a wrongful death suit, medical malpractice cases, and slip and fall accidents. Other cases included fraudulent misrepresentation, defamation of character, worker's compensation, and statutes of limitation. Several governmental immunity cases addressed the question of whether or not public educational institutions are protected against tort suits. A number of procedural decisions are discussed that concern liability. The final cases discussed concern claims of violations of constitutional or statutory rights without due process of law.
