Higher Education Law

Higher Education Law encompasses the legal principles and regulations governing colleges and universities. It includes issues like admissions policies, student rights, academic integrity, funding, and faculty employment. Laws such as Title IX address discrimination and ensure equal opportunities in education. Institutions must also comply with accreditation standards and regulations related to federal funding. Faculty and student governance, privacy (like FERPA), and free speech on campuses are also critical areas. Overall, this field ensures that higher education institutions operate fairly, equitably, and in compliance with legal standards while promoting academic freedom and integrity.
