of cases. The first article is “Hundreds of officers lose licenses over sex misconduct” by Matt Sedensky on November 1, 2015. The second article is “Why victims of rape in college don’t report to the police” by Eliza Gray on June 23, 2014. According to Sedensky (2015), in a yearlong investigation of sexual misconduct by U.S. law enforcement, the Associated Press uncovered about 1,000 officers who lost their badges in a six-year period for rape, sodomy and other sexual assault; sex crimes that…

Sexual assault on college campuses has always been a problem. Just recently it has become more publicized due to the growth of the internet and media. This problem is difficult for universities to solve due to the following challenges. The largest challenge that colleges cannot solve is the condensed living facilities. Thousands of students are confined to a small area and can run into each other at any time during the day. Another challenge is that if an assault does happen, there is no…

1. From the perspective of a college or university, is there a difference between internal law and external law? What are the kinds of sources of law of each kind? Discuss. In examining whether there is a difference between internal and external law in relation to colleges and universities one must take note of the system of governance as it relates to institutions of higher education.

Estate, Sports and Entertainment, and, Tax. (Fields of Law). Usually a lawyer only picks one, sometimes two fields (or branches) to focus on. Luckily that decision is later in the future, because as of the moment there are more pressing matters; “Law schools do not expect you to know what kind of law you want to practice before you matriculate. Still, it is a good idea to learn about the various types of law practice well before you decide to submit law school applications. Educating yourself in…

Based on the article, “College Kids Have Too Much Privacy” , I agree with the author that college kids are given too much privacy. According to Michele Willins of the Los Angeles Times, the law that gives college kids privacy, FERPA, is an, “unwieldy piece of legislation.” This is true because the law is only restricted to telling parents about drugs and alcohol, or sexual offenses. Anything else is left to the kid to tell their parents. A kid could be skipping all of his or her classes, and the…

Standardized testing has been around for many years, as far back as the nineteenth century. Like standardized tests are today, they were mainly used to make decisions about college admissions and high school graduation. Now, standardized tests are used more for college admissions than high school graduation. After World War II, standardized tests were administrated more broadly.

by Antioch College in the early 1990s, the concept was widely ridiculed and criticized, to the extent that “Saturday Night Light” performed a skit satirizing the concept. The notion that with each and every escalating step in a sexual encounter, the participants must explicitly affirm their consent and willingness to have sex and to continue to have sex was deemed excessive and unnecessary (Kaminer 2015). In present time, affirmative consent is becoming a widely adopted policy by colleges in the…

medical amnesty policy was put into place, so underage drinkers could put their worries aside and do the right thing. The medical amnesty policy will change the way students and underage drinkers handle an emergency situation. The Medical Amnesty Law allows for underage drinkers to call for medical help without getting in trouble. It saves lives by preventing the hesitation of students during medical emergencies involving alcohol or drugs (" 911 Good Samaritan Policy Guide"). Many students are…
