Some days, it seems as though our society has gone lawsuit crazy.
Open any given issue of The Chronicle of Higher Education and you will see examples of institutions facing legal challenges. It’s enough to make any new academic administrator anxious!
The fact is, higher education practice now carries numerous legal responsibilities for faculty administrators.
There are issues of academic freedom and the First Amendment in the classroom. There are the challenges of managing faculty employees and disciplining and terminating faculty when necessary. There is the ongoing problem of sexual harassment in academia.
For new administrators, it can be nerve-jangling to consider the legal ramifications of slipping up when going about your daily duties of faculty management.
