The Student Handbook, Federal Law and Electronic Technology
-
Dennis E. Gregory
The student handbooks of colleges and universities, as well as other documents such as the college or university catalog, housing manual, and now perhaps the institutional web pages, are perceived by most authorities to be part of an ongoing contract between the institution and its students (Buckner, 1988; Correnti, 1988; Shur, 1988; Weeks and Davis, 1993; Kaplin and Lee, 1995; Hoekema, 1996). In these publications, the institution provides information about programs, services, student-institutional obligations, and campus regulations. Students are expected to read these publications and learn the material within. Handbooks today range from traditional rulebooks to institutional efforts to share with students the broad options that are available to them in terms of campus organizations and other co-curricular activities and resources.
