The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services proposed a set of policies that would force college-contracted health care plans to comply with the same standards of service that the 2010 Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act has offered the American population on Wednesday, The Chronicle of Higher Education reported. If passed, the new reform would become effective on Jan. 1, 2012, and would affect approximately 2,000 colleges and three million students across the country, according to The Chronicle. The federal government's proposal addresses concerns raised by Gov. Andrew Cuomo, D-N.Y., and student activist groups that existing student health plans are insufficient. It is likely that the "next frontier" for regulation will be school's self-insured plans, which are currently regulated under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act, Bryan A. Liang, executive director of the Institute of Health Law Studies at California Western School of Law, said in an interview with The Chronicle.

On Monday, the U.S. Supreme Court refused to hear an appeal to a ruling by a federal appeals court that upheld Virginia regulations that ban alcohol advertisements in college newspapers, Inside Higher Ed reported. Represented by the American Civil Liberties Union, The Collegiate Times and The Cavalier Daily the newspapers of Virginia Tech and the University of Virginia, respectively challenged Virginia's alcohol regulatory board rules, claiming that they restrict the First Amendment rights of student newspapers and advertisers, according to Inside Higher Ed. The suit also argued that the regulations would cause significant financial harm to the papers, costing them each approximately $30,000 a year, Inside Higher Ed reported. The 2-1 ruling by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit in April, which reversed a lower court's decision, conflicted with a 2004 ruling by a Pennsylvania appeals court, which found that comparable restrictions violated the First Amendment, according to Inside Higher Ed. The Virginia appeals court upheld the state's ability to ban alcohol advertisements in school newspapers on the grounds that it is a reasonable way to combat illegal underage drinking.

The U.S. Supreme Court will hear a case regarding university rights to faculty inventions at the urging of the Obama administration and a collection of research universities, The Chronicle of Higher Education reported. The case, Stanford v. Roche, began when Stanford University sued a company now owned by Roche Holding AG for the rights to a test used to determine the effectiveness of AIDS treatment, Bloomberg reported. The outcome of the case's hearing would clarify the 1980 Bayh-Dole Act's guarantee that intellectual property rights supersede all "side agreements between individuals and third parties," The Chronicle reported. The case could "pit universities and the federal government against companies" because the Obama administration is supporting Stanford's claim, according to Bloomberg.
