Abstract

The American public university is a unique legal entity because it performs a unique role that this country has long recognized as valuable-too valuable to subject its core functions to external political interference. Universities are therefore often left by state law to regulate their own internal affairs, and their decisions on how best to facilitate their educational objectives have received deference under the First Amendment.
