LAW 365 - Law & Higher Education

1

Higher education is a complex, idiosyncratic institution. Universities and colleges have a unique mission–teaching, research, and public service–and a uniquely challenging task of accommodating the various constituencies and organizations, both internal (governing boards, faculty, employees, students, alumni) and external (legislatures, courts, governmental agencies), that influence how they are managed. This seminar will explore the dynamic tensions, high expectations, and complex legal-policy issues universities and colleges face in fulfilling their mission.
