Fundamental Fairness in Search of a Legal Rationale in Private College Student Discipline and Expulsions

Beach, John A.

Journal of College and University Law, 2, 1, 65-81, F 74

In discussing the present state of the law concerning judicial review of student expulsion and discipline cases at private colleges and universities and the quest for a satisfactory legal rationale for achieving fundamental fairness in those cases, the author argues that there are nonconstitutional doctrines of public policy and contract law not requiring proof of "state action."
