HEA 5050 - Legal and Policy Issues in Higher Education (3)

HEA 5050: Legal and Policy Issues in Higher Education. The purpose of this course is to explore a range of issues at the intersection of law, policy, and regulatory compliance in higher education. Applied in nature, the course equips emerging and seasoned higher education professionals with a basic understanding of legal considerations in the field and the ways in which institutions and individuals respond to legal challenges. In particular we examine freedom or expression, affirmative action, due process rights, gender discrimination and sexual assault, and risk management . Moreover, we discuss pertinent federal and state higher education policy priorities. We also explore the processes by which colleges and universities are governed at the state level in their day-to-day operations and make long-term policies. Students will become familiar with a range of relevant court cases and learn how to conduct policy analyses. As a result of this course, students will have an understanding of the legal and regulatory landscape in which their work as higher education administrators is situated.
