Abstract
Over 886,052 international students from various countries enrolled in the U.S. institutions of higher education in the 2013-2014 academic year (Institute of International Education, 2014). In this chapter, the authors examine selected court cases related to international students to offer insight on the legal issues that students or institutions have encountered. These court cases involve both undergraduate and graduate students at public and private U.S. universities. The court cases involve international students suing universities and university officials. The majority of the cases are related to student academic expectations and immigration status, while two involve sexual harassment.
