Article Abstract:

Dame Ruth Deech, independent adjudicator for student complaints, has warned universities in the UK against making promises in their prospectuses that they cannot keep. Deech warns the universities that any claims made in prospectuses are accepted by courts to be part of a legally binding contract between the university and the student, so the inclusion of reasonable disclaimers might be useful.
