Natural Justice and Academic Appeals MOOC 0131

This course introduces participants to the principles of Natural Justice – the rule against bias (nemo iudex in causa sua) and the right to a fair hearing (audi alteram partem). More and more Natural Justice is being referred to the “duty to act fairly”, or the “duty of fairness”, but the end goal is the same: The principles of natural justice exist as a safeguard for individuals in their interactions with the state. These principles stipulate that whenever a person’s “rights, privileges or interests” are at stake, there is a duty to act in a procedurally fair manner. Throughout this course, the principles are introduced and applied, in a a case approach, throughout the lifecycle of an academic appeal within a fictitious post-secondary institution bound, by law, to enable students to appeal decisions which affect their academic standing. *Note: Thank you for your interest in a BCIT – Free Online Learning course.
