- CydeWeys 7y agoDoesn't matter. Universities generally are governed by specific laws.
- Gibbon1 7y agoYeah people make the mistake of thinking your can figure out the law based on deduction and first principals. You can't you need to be familiar with applicable case law. Thing to remember law predates science by about 3000 years.
- saagarjha 7y ago> Thing to remember law predates science by about 3000 years. Does it really?
- CydeWeys 7y agoYes it does. Science as we know it really only dates back to the enlightenment, whereas law dates back to at least 1754 BC (and likely earlier). More specifically, computer science only dates back a few decades (being generous, call it a century), and most of the people applying incorrect frameworks to law on this site are coming in with preconceived notions from that.
- xnyan 7y agoThat is, to a large degree, a distinction without a difference. Large US research universities are more similar than different in most aspects including status as legal entity and (perhaps more important in practice) in how society sees them.
