Legal aspects of college teaching and administration are |
|
discussed. The faculty and college are liable by tort law |
|
for students in three ways: intentional acts or |
|
interference, strict liability, and negligence. |
|
Intentional acts include improperly installed or |
|
dangerous equipment, while strict liability cases usually |
|
occur where fault is not specifically identifiable, such |
|
as when students hurt themselves on ice when there was no |
|
adequate protection barriers and warnings. Negligence may |
|
occur when there are student injuries without proper |
|
supervision of students by faculty members. Another type |
|
of negligence action is educational malpractice (i.e., |
|
teachers and administrators did not carry out their |
|
responsibilities to students and students did not learn |
|
what they should have). Specific concerns include proper |
|
training of graduate assistants for their |
|
responsibilities, management by faculty of health |
|
emergencies while exerting caution in administering first |
|
aid, and keeping accident reports. The use of religious |
|
materials in public classrooms is another concern, along |
|
with prayer and bible reading, free speech and |
|
expression, and the copyright law. Guidelines to avert |
|
adverse legal actions are provided. (SW) |
