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.
