Rights and Responsibilities in Higher Education

This edited collection explores how higher education institutions have responded to this human-rights-based approach to higher education. The expertly collated contributions explore how historical, politico-legal, economic, sociocultural, colonial and environmental context impacts university rights and responsibilities.

Participation in education is essential in fostering the full agency of people within society. Higher education is subject to a variety of rights for students, and often these rights are protected by law or by university policy. Rights and Responsibilities in Higher Education explores how higher education institutions have responded to this human-rights-based approach to higher education.

Introducing the concept of educational rights and their role in the emerging university of the twenty-first century, the chapters in this collection delve into how educational stakeholders must understand the nature of rights and the role they play in shaping, often implicitly, an institution’s ethos, customs, norms, and traditions, and how educational rights should be reflected in the institution’s mission, vision, and values statements. The expertly collated contributions do not assume that rights are universal at all higher education institutions. The authors explore how historical, politico-legal, economic, sociocultural, colonial and environmental context impacts university rights and responsibilities.

Rights and Responsibilities in Higher Education is appealing reading for any educator interested in higher education institutions' educational development.
