The Handbook of Comparative Higher Education covers relevant topics for both scholars and practitioners. The book includes important issues of governance, faculty rights, and students' rights. Each chapter is carefully researched by the leading experts in the field. This book is the first of its kind and is a must have for anyone interested in higher education law from an international perspective. -- Suzanne Eckes, associate professor, Indiana University A companion volume to earlier texts on the rights of students, teachers, and students with disabilities, this valued and impressive collection of essays from a diverse group of academics and jurists from around the world makes a timely and important contribution to the field of higher education. More pointedly, a compelling case emerges for ensuring, on a global level, that higher education is a fundamental right available to all. -- Paul Clarke, Ph.D., professor, faculty of education, University of Regina This book is badly needed and timely in two senses: it fills a longstanding gap in the literature and it coincides with a growing international awareness of higher education as a fundamental human right. Its ambitious array of topics promises to make this book an indispensible reference tool for not only those who study comparative higher education but also those charged with putting the emerging human right to higher education into effect in countries around the world. -- Greg M. Dickinson, BA (Hon), LLB, Ed.D, of the Bar of Ontario,Editor in Chief, "Education & Law Journal," professor, faculty of education, Western University, London, Ontario, Canada Professor Russo has assembled leading educational law scholars from around the world in this important and unique volume on comparative higher education law. One can hardly overstate the importance of global perspective in any enterprise, but in the international higher education nexus these insightful analyses are particularly critical. This is a must read for anyone-higher education administrator, governing board member, faculty, students-thinking globally about higher education. -- Michael D. Waggoner, professor of higher education, University of Northern Iowa, editor, "Religion & Education"
