Autor Kent Kauffman
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 5 dec 2024
While full-and part-time college faculty and lecturers go about their jobs-doing all that is seen (teaching and publishing) and unseen (class prep, grading, and researching)-little, if any time is given to the uncomfortable acknowledgment that those acts have legal ramifications. Navigating Choppy Waters: Key Legal Issues College Faculty Need to Know thoughtfully addresses topics that are vital for those in academia.

Recenzii

Sometimes, one doesn't realize how much they need a book - or class - until they have it in front of them. Navigating Choppy Waters is one of those books. For those faculty who already understand that litigation and other legal threats are increasing, this is a book that will help. For those who really haven't thought about it, you should, and Kent Kauffman's book is a great resource to have.
Every professor, every Dean, every university administrator needs this book. It blows away legal myths and teaches the law in a way anyone can understand. Laced with humor and horror stories from the higher education headlines, it is clear, compelling, and extraordinarily useful. I could scarcely put it down, and I'm no lawyer.
Navigating Choppy Waters is the essential guide I wish I had during my two decades in higher education. Kauffman empowers faculty to navigate legal risks, intellectual property issues, and the true scope of tenure and academic freedom, all while engaging readers to predict outcomes of real cases. A must-read for any faculty member seeking clarity and protection in their roles.
