Higher Education Law: A Handbook for Faculty in Professional Programs will be the essential reference tool for all faculty teaching in and administering professional programs. The book will: - Help faculty identify and understand the legal implications of their everyday interactions with students. - Enable faculty to prevent costly, time consuming and emotionally draining legal actions by students. - Make the connection between good teaching pedagogy and the laws that govern higher education. - Enable faculty to participate in the drafting of policies that will honor students' legal rights and protect their programs from avoidable legal actions. - Help faculty identify when specific legal advice is needed, ideally before a legal challenge has been lodged in response to a faculty action. - Integrate case narratives to bring legal concepts and practices to life and make principles memorable to the reader by linking them to stories.
