Summary

The law touches your life in ways you’ve likely never considered. If you are reading this chapter in the United States, you probably received a syllabus on the first day of class containing information about topics like accommodations for students with disabilities, absences on non-Christian holy days, academic dishonesty, and not disrupting the learning environment for classmates. Statements about these topics are shaped by federal laws and institutional regulations.
