Reform in Three Phases: Judicial Action and the German Federal Framework Law for Higher Education of 1976.

Mushaben, Joyce Marie

Higher Education, v13 n4 p423-38 Aug 1984

Higher education reform in West Germany from 1965-79 shows a growing tendency among the citizens toward politicized legalism. Three federal court decisions have shaped a federal law for higher education policy, and judicial activism in university reform impairs the ability of state legislatures and academic institutions to experiment and innovate during socioeconomic change.
