Legal Responsibilities and Contractual Obligations Imposed on a University by Its Catalog.
Peterson, Erlend D.
College and University, v56 n3 p254-63 Spr 1981

Courts have determined a contractual relationship established by the catalog, and precautionary steps should be taken to avoid liability litigation. (MSE)
