ABSTRACT: Law's growing involvement with the structure and
policies of all postsecondary institutions is addressed in
this comprehensive sourcebook on law for administrators and
their legal counsel. Detailed discussions of the Bakke and
the Horowitz cases are offered along with clear summaries
of the laws, regulations, and court decisions pertaining to
higher education. Issues such as faculty collective
bargaining, liability, civil rights compliance, and federal
aid-to-education programs are examined in depth. Legal
relationships of an institution to its trustees,
administrators, faculty, and students, as well as local,
state, and federal governments are interpreted. Chapters

College and Trustees, Administrators, and Agents; The
College and Faculty; The College and the Students; The
College and the Community; The College and the State
Government; The College and the Federal Government; and The

bibliographies at the end of the chapters guide readers to
key literature for in-depth study. Also provided are the
