Academic discipline: a guide to fair process for the university student

Article Abstract:

College students subject to academic discipline for cheating or similar acts are entitled to certain procedural safeguards, such as written notice of the charges, a hearing before an impartial body, and the right to confront witnesses. Students have a legally protected interest in their education, irrespective of whether they attend a public or private institution, although students at private institutions lack constitutional due process protection. Contractual due process may protect students at private and public institutions alike.

Federalism, welfare reform, and the minority poor: accounting for the tyranny of state majorities

Article Abstract:

The Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996, the federalism-inspired welfare reform law, will harm the minority poor by shifting welfare decisionmaking to the state level, where bias against them is more difficult to check than at the national level. A version of decentralization that gives the states more power over welfare while protecting the poor against local prejudice would better serve Congress' basic purposes in passing the reform act.
