Understanding little changes that will have a big impact on your campus.

Recent amendments made to ADA and a new Guidance for FERPA directly impact colleges and universities. Can you translate the changes, interpret their implications, and then know exactly how to ready your staff and campus?

Changes to the ADA broaden the definition of “disability” offering many more people the opportunity of a successful higher-ed experience. Along with the increase of students, there may be an increase in lawsuits if you’re not prepared; it’s in everyone’s best interest to know exactly what your campus needs to have in place.

And just when you thought you were familiar with how to use FERPA on your campus, a new Guidance has been issued; it may change the way you share information about students, and to whom, and how much.

It’s not enough to simply acknowledge the changes – you need to thoroughly understand them.

Charting the Changes: FERPA & ADA, a 90 minute seminar presented by Brett A. Sokolow, J.D. and Saundra K. Schuster, J.D. highlights the specific changes made to each act – in terms you can understand - and gives you a sound explanation of how the changes affect your campus. With solid backgrounds in law, higher education and risk management, the presenters talk about the new rules and new expectations, chart the changes to the law, and offer guidance and practical advice for your campus personnel.

What you will take away from the seminar:
• Learn why Congress thought changes to the ADA of 1990 were necessary
• Realize how the changes to the definition of “disability” will directly impact your campus
• Understand changes to the “substantially limits” language of ADA
• Be familiar with the two lists of “major life activities” now in place
• Clearly decipher what the law says about episodic disability and remission
• Have an overview of the revised FERPA Guidance and its contents, and see how it benefits the safety of your community
