Product Description
Product Description

The legal challenges facing today’s colleges and universities are formidable. Advisors to these institutions and the wide range of other practitioners interacting with them must be able to address not only traditional issues such as admissions, tenure, athletics, student discipline, and campus safety but also topics as diverse as immigration, federal regulation of research, tax and investment concerns, and discrimination on the basis of gender or disability. The College and University Law Manual is an in-depth and practical guide to the legal issues confronting institutions of higher learning. Although the book takes special note of applicable Massachusetts authorities, the book’s subject matter and reach make it a valuable resource for practitioners in higher education from across the nation.

  - substantial developments in law and policy applicable to university research standards;
  - case law clarifying the scope of the False Claims Act, addressing, among other issues, the viability of implied certification claims based on a failure to disclose noncompliance with a statutory, regulatory, or contractual requirement;
  - imposition of an excise tax on the net investment income of certain educational institutions and changes in the rules governing tax on executive compensation and on the computation of unrelated business taxable income (UBTI);
