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.
