Colleges and universities have been faced with a startling rise in litigation over the last decade. Students, faculty, employees – anyone can have a grievance, and sometimes it seems they all do.
Every institution needs to carefully examine its policies and practices … lawsuits are simply too costly to allow for anything less than a robust prevention strategy.
But where to start?
As the saying goes, “Fight the fire where it’s hottest.” In colleges and universities, that would be Student Affairs.
Student Affairs is home to a wide array of services and programs that are particularly vulnerable to legal action. Counseling … study abroad … community service … student conduct. The list is long and the issues are complex.
You can get an up-to-the-minute look at the subject in a new online seminar, Best Practices in Risk Management for Student Affairs.
Coming March 25, this 90-minute audio seminar will be led by W. Scott Lewis, J.D. and Saundra K. Schuster, J.D., partners in the the National Center for Higher Education Risk Management (NCHERM). They’ll share their experience as consultants to more than 1,400 colleges and universities, and provide you with a set of best practices that will keep your Student Affairs department on solid legal ground. Along the way, they’ll address critical topics including:
• Student mental health.
• Student conduct.
• Involuntary withdrawal.
• Disability law.
• FERPA’s effects on communication and the implications for campus safety.
• The changing tenor of government investigations of colleges and universities.
• Personal liability for college administrators – the Section 1983 challenge.
• Best practices in staffing and training.
• What lies ahead … litigation threats in the next ten years.
• And much more.
You’ll leave with a full slate of practical, proven strategies you can implement right away on your campus.
Includes a special Q& A session
You’re invited to submit questions during this live, interactive seminar, for discussion during a dedicated Q&A session. If you face a particularly difficult issue on your campus, or need clarification on some of the finer points of higher-ed law and risk management best practices, this is an excellent opportunity to get feedback from two of the leading authorities in the field.
Invite your colleagues at no additional cost …
