1.4.1 Overview. The modern law of postsecondary education is not simply a product of what the courts say, or refuse to say, about educational problems. The modern law comes from a variety of sources, some “external” to the postsecondary institution and some “internal.” The internal law, as described in Section 1.4.3 below, is at the core of the institution's operations. It is the law the institution creates for itself in its own exercise of institutional governance. The external law, as described in Section 1.4.2 below, is created and enforced by bodies external to the institution. It circumscribes the internal law, thus limiting the institution's options in the creation of internal law. (See Figure I.2, “The External Law Circumscribing the Internal Law,” in the General Introduction to this book, Section C.)
