Description
This course is about the rights that students and their parents have, some statutory, some common law, some constitutional. In particular, the focus will be on the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (the Buckley Amendment), the Student Consumer Information Act, the Education for the Handicapped Act, first amendment issues in schools, and due process rights in student suspension hearings and other similar hearings. If there is time and interest, we will study the financial aid legislation. How the course will be taught will depend in significant part on how many people sign up for it. I hope that everyone will have the opportunity to attend at least one due process hearing.
