Michael A. Olivas is the William B. Bates Distinguished Chair of Law at the University of Houston Law Center and director of the Institute for Higher Education Law and Governance.

[Olivas's] treatment of this complex subject is well done and easy to follow. Choice Olivas resoundingly justifies why more scholars should recognize the political and sociological factors influencing courts today and vice versa.

It would be useful for law collections with both extensive and limited holdings in education or discrimination law and those that support graduate programs in educational administration. -- Kathleen A.
