Why colleges can no longer trust the courts
CHE | S Green
A fall from legal grace is hard to accept, but letting go may be essential for progress. Higher education may not be special legally, but it is not fair for it to be specially mistreated. It is time to focus more on winning strategies in the court of public opinion and developing greater support in that forum. Simply because higher education was crushed in the first quarter of the new legal milieu does not mean that the game is lost. It is difficult to be on the wrong side of the law, as colleges are finding out, but Americans always have had a fascination with outlaws — especially those who believe in the righteousness of their causes.
