EDLE 742 - Legal and Ethical Issues in Higher Education

Credits: 3

Students will be exposed to a complex set of issues relating to ethical and legal behavior in institutional settings, including academic integrity, curriculum choices, student assessment, parental involvement, community relations, and administrative-staff conflict. Through readings, case analyses, and other means of investigation, the consequences of ethical and unethical practices and their impact on individuals and organizations are examined. This seminar will also provide an opportunity to examine and discuss current research on race, class, gender, poverty, institutional practices, state, and federal policy factors that are known to impact participation in higher education. Particular attention is given to the legal context of access in higher education, the various pathways to higher education, and the impact of various policies and programs on higher education.
