student rights
Learner legal entitlements
Student rights are the legal protections and freedoms afforded to students within educational institutions.
These include constitutional guarantees like free speech and due process, which courts have held don't disappear at the schoolhouse gate, though schools may impose reasonable restrictions.
Student rights also cover privacy of records, freedom from unreasonable search, and protection from discrimination: The handbook outlines student rights and responsibilities.
The concept often comes up when school discipline clashes with individual liberties.
