The article focuses on the legal status of professors. In the whole matter of the legal status of professors and faculties, most American colleges and universities are monuments of informality and disorder. Appointments and promotions often rest upon mutual understanding or agreement, without written offer or acceptance, and with no specific indication of duties to be performed or restrictions to be observed. Regulations governing the admission of students, the course of study, the attainment of degrees, and the grant of financial aid are made and unmade by presidents, faculties, and governing boards, with more or less complete indifference to such questions as usurpation of authority on the one hand or infringement of rights on the other.
