Colleges' Increasing Exposure to Liability: The New "In Loco Parentis."

Szablewicz, James J.; Gibbs, Annette

Journal of Law and Education, v16 n4 p453-65 Fall 1987

Outlines the history of the concept of "in loco parentis" and the relationship between college students and their institutions. During the 1960's the concept was no longer evident at the college level, but in the 1980's court trends are beginning to show a rebirth (with revisions) of the doctrine. Includes discussion of court litigation. (MD)
