Highlights:
- After the legal demise of in loco parentis, in the 1960s, colleges went in the opposite direction, viewing their role more as bystanders. Now they seem to have found a middle ground.
- The new in loco parentis is driven by tuition-payers’ expectations, colleges’ concerns about legal liability, shifting cultural and social norms, and an evolving understanding of human development.
- Increasing competitive pressure on colleges is encouraging them to exercise their supervisory and decision-making roles more aggressively.
- You can see that in many forms, including more-intrusive advising and crackdowns on fraternities and sororities.
Back to the future?
