The Status Of The In Loco Parentis Doctrine In American Higher Education, William Lee Maravetz Jan 1992

The Status Of The In Loco Parentis Doctrine In American Higher Education, William Lee Maravetz

Graduate Research Papers

Though the concept of in loco parentis as applied to higher education lost its legal status during the late 1960s and early 1970s, many higher education authorities believe that the underlying philosophy of in loco parentis is re-emerging.
