Read very carefully. You will need to choose one of the italicized cases and follow the directions.

Write a 250-word posting that discusses a major legal principle from the case and how this principle informs higher education administration. Do not focus exclusively on presenting the details of the case itself; the major purpose of this assignment is to use a major legal principle from a case to form an administrative principle

Writing Issues

1. Proofread your work carefully to avoid run-on sentences, misspellings, incorrect punctuation, and awkward constructions. As I assigned readings in the APA manual, I expect adherence to associated guidelines with some common issues below.

 

2. Legal case titles in the body of the text should be italicized as in the following example:

 

In Boyle v. Torres (2010), the court concluded that the University of Chicago police officers were state actors because they provided similar duties of government officers.

 

Do not cite justices or courts as authors of a case; cite the case.

 

Other parenthetical citations of author(s)/year—for example, “(Kaplin, Lee, Hutchens, & Rooksby, 2020)”—should not be italicized.

 

3. Legal case titles in the References section should not be italicized as in the following example:

 

Boyle v. Torres, 756 F. Supp. 2d 983 (N.D. Ill. 2010). Retrieved from https://www.courtlistener.com/opinion/2473105/boyle-v-torres/

 

4. Unless a case is directly obtained from a court record or legal database, provide the retrieval information directly in the citation as per the example above.

 

5. Do not include active hyperlinks in References section citations. In a citation that ends with a URL, do not end the URL with a period.

 

6. Parenthetical citations in the body of the text for multiple authors should include the ampersand (&) as in the following example:

 

In Mentavlos v. Anderson (2001), the question addressed by the circuit court was whether or not the Citadel cadets alleged of sexual harassment and discrimination were state actors and, thus, subject to Section 1983 liability (i.e., personal liability as state actors for depriving the constitutional rights of another person; cf. Kaplin, Lee, Hutchens, & Rooksby, 2020).

 

7. For nonparenthetical citations in the body of the text, use “and” for multiple authors as in the following example:

 

This certainly supports Kaplin, Lee, Hutchens, and Rooksby’s (2020) assertion that “if a ‘dangerous’ condition is obvious, there is no duty to warn an invitee of potential danger” (p. 101).

 

Note the double quotation marks in the original are changed to single quotation marks (i.e., single quotation marks are used for quotes embedded within double quotation marks).

 

 

8. Properly cite the Kaplin, Lee, Hutchens, and Rooksby (2020) text in the References section as follows:

Kaplin, W. A., Lee, B. A., Hutchens, N. H., & Rooksby, J. H. (2020). The law of higher education: Student version (6th ed.). Hoboken, NJ: Jossey-Bass.

Note the following:

1. there is a single space between an author’s initials,
   b. a comma precedes the ampersand,
   c. the title of the book is italicized,
   d. there are upper and lower case words in the book’s title,
   e. the publisher’s location state is included, and
   f. the APA (6th ed.) guidelines do not use the superscript; thus, write “6th” and not “6^th.”
2. When including a direct quote, insert some indication as to its location (e.g., a paragraph number if no pagination exists) in the original as in the following example:

 

In Bernold v. Board of Governors of University of North Carolina (2009), cause for dismissal was a disruptive “lack of collegiality” (para. 1).

 

The parenthetical citation for a direct quote should be outside the quotation marks (i.e., not contained within the quotation marks as though it were a part of the quotation itself).

 

10. Identify secondary sources properly (see p. 178 in the APA 6th ed. manual).

 

11. Use the past tense when referring to what authors have previously stated. For example, “Kaplin, Lee, Hutchens, and Rooksby (2020) asserted….”

 

12. Please review proper comma usage with coordinating conjunctions; in general, a comma does not precede a coordinating conjunction (i.e., and, but, or, nor, for, so, and yet) unless it connects two independent clauses (i.e., phrases that could form complete sentences) or three or more elements in seriation. Note the following examples:

 

1. John was tall, and heavy (incorrect; comma not needed)
2. John was tall and heavy (correct)
3. John was tall, and he was heavy (correct; two independent clauses separated by “and”)
4. John was tall, heavy and smart (incorrect; comma needed for seriation with three or more elements)
5. John was tall, heavy, and smart (correct)

 

13. An introductory clause with a preceding subordinating conjunction (e.g., although, because, since) should be followed by a comma; however, a concluding clause preceded by a subordinating conjunction should not be preceded by a comma. Note the following examples:

 

1. Because he was tall, John could reach the top of the kitchen cabinet (correct)
2. John could reach the top of the kitchen cabinet, because he was tall (incorrect; comma not needed)
3. John could reach the top of the kitchen cabinet because he was tall (correct)

 

14. Be careful to not overuse direct quotes; use them for effect or when paraphrasing will not convey the original message easily.

 

15. Use “p.” when indicating a single page and “pp.” when indicating a page range as in the following examples:

 

1. As Kaplin, Lee, Hutchens, and Rooksby (2020) further asserted, there is no violation to the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act to contact relatives should such inclinations emerge (p. 119).
2. If the case involved a private institution, such protections would not exist absent a state action finding (Kaplin, Lee, Hutchens, & Rooksby, 2020, pp. 295–296).

 

16. Please review proper hyphen usage with various prefixes in the APA manual (e.g., nondiscriminatory, postsecondary).

 

17. The names of racial and ethnic groups should be capitalized (e.g., White, Black).

 

18. In parenthetical notes, “i.e.” and “e.g.” must be followed by a comma.

 

19. Be careful with subject-pronoun agreement in both kind (e.g., a university is an “it” and not a “they”) and number (e.g., a student is a “he” or “she” and not a “they”).

 

20. The past tense of the verb “lead” is “led.”
