Book Review: Robot-proof: Higher Education in the Age of Artificial Intelligence / Joseph E. Aoun, 2017

Bill Kaplin and Barbara Lee let their readers know up front - on the book's cover in fact - that "A Legal Guide for Student Affairs Professionals" has been adapted from their highly regarded third edition of "The Law of Higher Education" [LHE3](1995) ("the big red book," as my students refer to it). The authors have included material already presented in LHE3 but have completely reorganized, updated, and edited the earlier work.

A broad understanding of the books subtitle, Emergence and Growth of the Contemporary System, is truly realized by the reader.
