Subjects:

• Education » Higher Education
• Education » Educational Administration & Policy

Reviews:

• Goonen and Blechman answer questions in a way that can be understood by those without legal training or familiarity with higher education administration....The discussions and information are valuable to current and prospectivve practitioners as they seek to balance the legal, ethical, and practical issues that surface in every decision in the increasingly complex higher education arena. The volume is useful both as a desk reference and as a text for practicing and prospective administrators and university counsel.

  Department of Human Resource Management Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey: I am impressed with the thorough job of research, the attention to significant issues, and the excellent writing. The manuscript is a clear, concise review of important issues that is accessible to nonlawyers--its audience. These authors have succeeded in not only providing accurate, up-to-date information, but have presented it in a clear, comprehensible manner. It should be a very popular book with academic administrators and their counsel.
