ABSTRACT
In Chapter 15 of Representative Government, Mill stressed that any power of removal should not extend “to making new appointments, or suspending the local institutions.” The Uniform Common Interests Act allows two-thirds of those present at a meeting to remove officers, and allows 20 percent of all owners to call a meeting upon 10-to-60-days notice. The British Education Reform Act permits the Ministry of Educa tion to intervene to replace principals appointed by boards for individual schools upon a finding of serious educational deficiency, the intervention to be temporary. Similar provisions have been added in recent years to the education legislation of some American states, including New Jersey and Maryland.
