Teague-Cranston Act Of 1972, United States Congress

Establishment of James H. Quillen College of Medicine

United States Public Law 92-541, commonly known as the Teague-Cranston Act, called for the creation of five new medical schools in five states to meet the needs of medically under served areas of the country. The act, as passed, required that the new schools be "located in proximity to, and operated in conjunction with, Veterans' Administration medical facilities." This worked in ETSU's favor as the university is located adjacent to the Mountain Home VA Hospital. Signed into law by President Richard Nixon, this would eventually lead to the establishment of the Quillen College of Medicine.

Ill Effects Of A Well-Intentioned Law: The Rights Of The Handicapped Overlooked, Robert L. Burgdorf

Journal Articles

Indiana's Public Law No. 162, which was signed into law in 1972, is an admirable achievement. The statute consolidated and clarified the procedures to be employed by schools in suspending, expelling or excluding students. The rights of students were closely guarded through the clear enumeration of the requirements of due process in this area. Written notice, a relatively formal hearing, the right to be represented by counsel, the right to cross-examine witnesses, a written decision and record of the proceedings, and an appeal procedure are all specifically mandated by the law whenever a child may be suspended, expelled or excluded. …

Flag Salute, Patriotic Exercises, And Students’ Rights, William A. Kaplin, Edward P. Jesella Jr.

Scholarly Articles

The public school system is the major American social institution responsible for the transmission of our democratic heritage to present and future generations. In fulfilling this responsibility, the schools often confront problems involving their duty to inculcate students with a sense of patriotism. Probably the most controversial questions have concerned compulsory flag saluting and participation in patriotic exercises. Can a school demand that students salute the flag?

Questions such as this arise under circumstances where students, allegedly exercising First Amendment rights, clash with school authorities engaged in the promulgation and enforcement of school rules. This interplay of educational order and …

Prayer Amendment: A Justification, Charles E. Rice

Journal Articles

It is customary for each house of Congress to open its daily sessions with prayer delivered by its Chaplain. One might conclude that if the lawmakers of the nation are entitled to ask for divine blessing upon their work, so are the rest of us, including school children. Not so. For the Supreme Court of the United States has drawn the line. Legislators may pray, so far at least, but school children may not. Thus it was that the courts intervened to prevent the holding of "a period for the free exercise of religion" in the Netcong, New Jersey, public …

Due Process--Rights Of Confrontation & Cross Examination Accorded To Students At Expulsion Hearings, Margaret F. Brinig

Journal Articles

Tibbs v. Board of Education is the latest in a series of cases expanding the rights of high school students threatened with either expulsion or indefinite suspension. Although in most states a hearing is not explicitly required for student expulsion, recent cases have held that high school students are entitled to at least those "rudimentary elements of fair play" inherent in due process.

The safeguards now guaranteed by the decision in Tibbs are significant mainly because so few procedural rights were afforded secondary school pupils in the recent past. In the areas of appointed counsel and limitation of interim suspension, …
