  • Law and Governance Affecting the Resolution of Academic and Disciplinary Disputes at Scottish Universities: an American Perspective
    LAW AND GOVERNANCE AFFECTING THE RESOLUTION OF ACADEMIC AND DISCIPLINARY DISPUTES AT SCOTTISH UNIVERSITIES: AN AMERICAN PERSPECTIVE FernandN. Dutile" I. INTRODUCTION At the entrance to St. Mary's College, a part of the University of St. Andrews in Scotland, one encounters the opening words of the Gospel of St. 2 John: "In principio erat verbum."I Eschewing the usual translation, students there irreverently render the passage thus: "The Principal has the last word." 3 The existence of the position of Principal in a university and the substantial power of that official cause only part of the fascination experienced by the American observer of universities in Scotland. This article will assess, from an American perspective, the law and governance affecting the resolution of academic and disciplinary disputes involving students at Scottish universities. This analysis will reflect the many ways in which the treatment of such disputes in Scotland both differs from and resembles their treatment in the United States. 4 In a compromise of manageability and comprehensiveness, the eight (of thirteen)5 Scottish universities first constituted provide the focus for this Article.6 Among those * Associate Dean and Professor of Law, Notre Dame Law School; A.B., Assumption College, 1962; J.D., University of Notre Dame, 1965; Admitted to the Maine Bar, 1965. The author did much of the research for this article as a Senior Visiting Fellow at the University of Aberdeen (Scotland) during the summer of 1996. He is deeply indebted to Christopher H. W.

Preparing for 2010 Building on the achievements so far in the Bologna Process, we wish to establish a European Higher Education Area based on the principles of quality and transparency. We must cherish our rich heritage and cultural diversity in contributing to a knowledge- based society. We commit ourselves to upholding the principle of public responsibility for higher education in the context of complex modern societies. As higher education is situated at the crossroads of research, education and innovation, it is also the key to ’competitiveness. As we move closer to 2010, we undertake to ensure that higher education institutions enjoy the necessary autonomy to implement the agreed reforms, and we recognise the need for sustainable funding of institutions.” The European Higher Education Area - Achieving the Goals, Communiqué of the Conference of European Ministers Responsible for Higher Education, Bergen, 19-20 May 2005 3 The
