Universities and Students

Legal actions by students against universities are growing in number, and the issues such actions raise are increasingly becoming a major concern for both teaching and administrative staff.

Universities and Students is a handbook designed to clarify the legal framework that binds the student with the university or college. Covering the key issues that can give rise to disagreement or misunderstanding about this complex educational relationship, the book suggests practical remedies for a broad range of common areas of complaint, including:

• admission procedures;
• welfare and safety;
• course and examination requirements;
• disputes over marking;
• cheating;
• harassment;
• procedural fairness in handling all disputes;
• distinguishing between complaints and appeals;
• time limits;
• demands for better teaching and facilities.

With checklists and advice on how to identify common problem areas and their interconnections, this up-to-the-minute guide will help institutions understand what to do and what not to do. Ideal for personal tutors, lecturers, administrators and all staff in direct contact with students, the book sets out legal and good practice principles in clear and accessible language.
