The role of the law on campus is addressed in this resource book for administrators and legal counsel. An overview covers sources of postsecondary education law (e.g., statutes, institutional contracts) and dichotomies between the public and private sectors and between school and church. Attention is directed to: legal concepts and issues affecting internal relationships on campus and external relationships with private accrediting agencies and with local, state, and federal government; the law's impact on administrators' roles and functions; and broad questions of governmental power and process. Specific topics include: institutional and personal liability for acts of trustees and administrators; employment contracts; collective bargaining; nondiscrimination in employment; standards and procedures for faculty personnel decisions; faculty academic freedom; the legal status of students; admissions; financial aid; disciplinary rules; grades, credits, and degrees; suspension/dismissal; student protest/demonstrations; student organizations; student press; student housing; athletics; student files/records; disciplinary and grievance systems; and campus security. Provisions of the U.S. Constitution that apply to colleges are included, along with a court case index, and bibliographies for each chapter. (SW)
