The first stop for any legal enquiry should always be to the clerk or secretary of the governing body concerned, who will usually be responsible for securing legal advice for the governing body and liasing with the institution's solicitors and legal advisors.
There is a surfeit of legal and sector advice across the whole range of the law as it relates to higher education. Governing bodies may find that the main problem is distilling the essentials (in terms of rights and responsibilities) from a mass of cases, policy guidance, strategic direction and procedural regulation.
