Sometimes, one doesn't realize how much they need a book - or class - until they have it in front of them. Navigating Choppy Waters is one of those books. For those faculty who already understand that litigation and other legal threats are increasing, this is a book that will help. For those who really haven't thought about it, you should, and Kent Kauffman's book is a great resource to have. --Timothy Fort, Eveleigh Professor of Business Ethics, Kelley School of Business at Indiana University

Navigating Choppy Waters is the essential guide I wish I had during my two decades in higher education. Kauffman empowers faculty to navigate legal risks, intellectual property issues, and the true scope of tenure and academic freedom, all while engaging readers to predict outcomes of real cases. A must-read for any faculty member seeking clarity and protection in their roles. --Bonni Stachowiak, Producer and Host of Teaching in Higher Ed Podcast Every professor, every Dean, every university administrator needs this book. It blows away legal myths and teaches the law in a way anyone can understand. Laced with humor and horror stories from the higher education headlines, it is clear, compelling, and extraordinarily useful. I could scarcely put it down, and I'm no lawyer. --Moira Marsh, President of the Indiana Conference of the AAUP and chair of the Faculty Board of Review at Indiana University-Bloomington Sometimes, one doesn't realize how much they need a book - or class - until they have it in front of them.
