I think that one of the reasons that chapters are so much at ther mercy of the "opinions" of university officials is that they don't retain lawyers.

Generally college administrators are rather heavy handed and cavalier because colleges are pretty much closed systems

They generally make procedural and ethical mistakes.

However, you need an attourney to catch them at it.

Agreed. Every chapter should keep at least one alum-attorney around and if possible keep one active on their advisory board.
