Rights, Freedoms, and Responsibilities of Students

This volume of New Directions for Student Services provides current information regarding the rights, freedoms, and responsibilities of students and coincides with the twenty-fifth anniversary of the drafting of the 1967 "Joint Statement on Rights and Freedoms of Students." This reference is important as institutions enter what appears to be a new era of student activism, as institutions respond to external constituencies who demand university control of student behavior off campus, and as institutions struggle to refrain from returning to the days of in loco parentis. This publication provides contemporary discussions regarding six specific areas of concern, including freedom of access to higher education, freedom of expression and protection against improper academic evaluation, protection against improper disclosure of student records, student affairs issues, off-campus freedom of students, and student judicial proceedings. This material will be helpful to practitioners as they face student concerns throughout the 1990s. This is the 59th issue of the quarterly journal New Directions for Student Services.
