The Use of Legal Terminology in Student Conduct Codes: A Content Analysis
Martin, Janice E.; Janosik, Steven M.
NASPA Journal, v42 n1 p36-50 Fall 2004
A content analysis of 20 student conduct codes identified through stratified random sampling was performed to determine the extent to which legal terminology had been eliminated, as suggested by judicial affairs experts. The results showed that 80% of the codes selected in this study still contained some legal terms. These words and phrases are identified and appropriate substitutes are recommended. When type and size of institutions were examined, the authors found that private and smaller institutions were more likely to have removed more of this language from their codes than other types of institutions. (Contains 5 tables.)
