Conducting Rights & Compliance Audits: Implementing Results

Audio Online Seminar • Thursday, February 25, 2010 • 12:00 - 1:30 PM CST • $274

It’s the sort of thing that keeps college administrators up at night …

Schools are being sued left and right for rights violations–by students and employees alike. The list of rights is long, the details are complex (and often arcane), and schools very often come out on the losing end of litigation. Even if they prevail, it’s usually at great expense.

So … what to do? How can you help ensure your institution is respecting and protecting individual rights? How can you feel comfortable you’re doing all you can to prevent errors and oversights at every level, in every department?

Rights audits should be a fundamental part of your strategy. They can be implemented quickly and with relative ease, and they can be very, very effective. You can learn more about them in this new online seminar coming February 25.

Conducting Rights & Compliance Audits: Implementing Results will be led by Brett Sokolow, J. D., and W. Scott Lewis, J. D., partners in the National Center for Higher Education Risk Management. Consultants to more than 1,400 colleges and universities, with decades of experience in higher-ed law, they’ll review models for conducting both rights and compliance audits.

First, you’ll learn how to audit institutional policy in areas including:
• The right to a fair hearing
• The right to free speech
• The right to peaceful assembly
• The right to access education records
• The right to notice of policies
• Rights assured by Title IX
• Rights assured by the Clery Act
• Rights assured by ADA and Section 504 of the Rehab Act
• Rights assured by state laws
• Rights under FOIA, FCRA and FERPA
• And more.

Next, you’ll see how to audit for compliance, to determine whether your policies are being properly implemented, at every level–individual, departmental and institutional.
