Based on the fourth edition of The Law of Higher Education —the indispensable guide to law that bears on the provision of higher education—this Student Edition provides an up-to-date reference and guide for coursework in higher education law. It also provides a guide for programs that help prepare higher education administrators for leadership roles. This important reference is organized into five main parts Perspectives and Foundations; The College and Its Governing Board and Staff; The College and Its Faculty; The College and Its Students; and The College and the Outside World. Each part includes the sections of the full fourth edition that most relate to student interests and are most suitable for classroom instruction, for example:
Only a few people will ever need the information in this book, but if you are one of those people (as I am), you can be very grateful that William Kaplin has written this book. I am an administrator at a small college that does not have an in-house attorney. I consult this book at least once a week, and am quite sure that it has kept me out of the courtroom on more than one occasion.
Its a law book, written in law style. Its sometimes hard to keep track of items since they run through different topics. I would have organized it differently but very interesting to read about law and higher education
