Higher Education Law

by David Palfreyman (Editor)

Higher education is becoming an ever bigger and more complex business. Managers and advisers need to understand the effect of a whole range of legislation impinging upon the conduct of that business -especially against a background of students' increasing readiness to challenge decisions and resort to law. This expanded and fully updated second edition of Higher Education Law contains advice from a team of legal experts, providing comprehensive coverage of all the issues most likely to arise in practice. The book covers several recent cases and developments in the Data Protection Act, the Human Rights Act 1998, The Trustee Act 2000 and changes in the Disability Discrimination Act 1995. New material on academic tenure and dismissal for "good cause", on risk management and insurance, on governance, educational issues, business management and property matters are all dealt with fully.
