The purpose of this chapter is to offer an overview and analysis of all the cases rendered during 1980 concerning the legal parameters of employment issues in institutions of higher education. Judicial review of employment decisions encompassed a broad range of actions, including selection and appointment; dismissal and nonrenewal; the termination of faculty positions due to financial exigency; employment discrimination based on handicap, sex, race, age, and national origin; entitlements to benefits in the form of retirement pay; and unemployment and workmen's compensation.
