Court Upholds Faculty Power in Exam Case
The Supreme Court unanimously restricted judicial review of academic decisions. It reversed a federal appeals court that ordered the University of Michigan Medical School to grant a retake after a student failed an exam leading to dismissal. Justice Stevens said courts must show great respect for faculty judgments and intervene only for a substantial departure from accepted academic norms. Academic freedom relies on autonomous university decision making.
