Abstract: 

The editors review recent court decisions directly affecting college and university administration, discipline, and safety: Instructor “special relationships” are examined when a female college ballroom dance tour team member falls while practicing a lift with her male social dance team partner. The court saves a dental student from expulsion, due to University’s violation of its own regulations concerning their Investigating Panels. Wabash College and Phi Kappa Psi are found not liable for dangerous actions taken by individual fraternity members who spontaneously “showered” a fellow student. The court intervenes in favor of a physician’s assistant student when a college’s grade determination was based on ill will, spite, and retaliation, rather than academic merit.
