The
University of Houston Institute for Higher Education Law and Governance
(IHELG) provides a unique service to colleges and universities worldwide.
It has as its primary aim providing information and publications to colleges
and universities related to the field of higher education law, and also
has a broader mission to be a focal point for discussion and thoughtful
analysis of higher education legal issues. IHELG provides information, research,
and analysis for those involved in managing the higher education enterprise
internationally through publications, conferences, and the maintenance of
a database of individuals and institutions. IHELG is especially concerned
with creating dialogue and cooperation among academic institutions in the
United States, and also has interests in higher education in industrialized
nations and those in the developing countries of the Third World.
The UHLC/IHELG
works in a series of concentric circles. At the core of the enterprise
is the analytic study of postsecondary institutions -- with special emphasis
on the legal issues that affect colleges and universities. The next ring
of the circle is made up of affiliated scholars whose research is in law
and higher education as a field of study. Many scholars from all over
the world have either spent time in residence, or have participated in
Institute activities. Finally, many others from governmental agencies
and legislative staff concerned with higher education participate in the
activities of the Center. All IHELG monographs are available to a wide
audience, at low cost.
