Description
This Article confronts the question of whether the analysis of conventional administrative law is appropriate for resolving legal disputes over the allocation of authority in public higher education. It will begin with a summary of the general legal principles that apply to assignments of governmental authority. Then the formal structure of authority in American public higher education will be outlined, and judicial application of the legal principles to this structure will be examined. This examination will reveal that the little case law on the subject has largely failed to confront the issue and might be construed as suggesting that higher education should be treated like any other state operation.
