It also incorporates the latest major developments in higher education law and is current through March 2006.

THE STUDENT EDITION
A student edition of Kaplin and Lee’s treatise was published by Jossey-Bass, Inc. in July 2007. This text, The Law of Higher Education Fourth Edition: Student Version, contains all the
material from the 2-vol. work that is of most interest to instructors and students, along with enhancements that the authors have added
specifically to facilitate the book’s use for instructional purposes. The student
edition is available from Jossey-Bass (not NACUA) by clicking

HOW THIS WEBSITE WORKS
In cooperation with the authors and with Jossey-Bass, Inc., NACUA has created this web page as a service to its members and other users of The Law of Higher Education, 4th Edition, and the student edition. Please use the links below to access further information about these works, as well as information about the authors’ supplemental volumes of teaching materials (one volume keyed to the treatise and another volume keyed to the student edition), and the authors’ Instructor’s Manual for the student edition. There are also links to the authors’ periodic postings of new developments that update and supplement both the treatise and the student edition, and to a listing of other NACUA publications.
How Do I Decide Which Materials to Use for My Teaching?
Instructors using the two-volume Law of Higher Education, 4th Edition as a course text should request the Cases, Problems, and Materials for the 4th Edition (see below).
Instructors using the Student Version as a course text should request the Cases, Problems, and Materials for the Student Version (see below). The CPM for the Student Version is keyed to the section numbers in the Student Version.
Instructors who are using the Student Version as a course text, but who have purchased the full 4th Edition should request the Cases, Problems, and Materials keyed to the Student Version. Sections in the Student Version have been edited and updated and, in most cases, are shorter than corresponding sections in the 4th Edition.
Because the Student Version is shorter, its chapters and section numbers differ from those in the 4th edition. The authors have provided a Crosswalk in the Student Version and on the NACUA website (see below) that identifies the section of the Fourth Edition and, where appropriate, the corresponding section in the Student Version.
