If you’re a college administrator carrying out institutional policy, you might be interested to know …

You could be sued for it.

Personally.

Recent court cases have raised the very real possibility that college administrators will be liable for actions they take on behalf of their institutions. Discrimination and harassment complaints–and in particular, complaints under Section 1983–are no longer being filed only against institutions, but against the individuals who work there.

Accordingly, there is an acute and urgent need for institutions and individuals to get the facts, and take steps to protect themselves. You can gain critical insight into the issues during this seminar program.

Tools to Reduce Personal Liability for College Administrators is a 2-hour audio seminar led by Brett A. Sokolow, J.D., specialist in higher-ed law and president of the National Center for Higher Education Risk Management (NCHERM), and two NCHERM partners, W. Scott Lewis, J.D., and Saundra K. Schuster, J.D.

In this fact-filled seminar program, you’ll learn:

• What a Section 1983 action is and how a Section 1983 lawsuit works.
• How Section 1983 relates to state anti-discrimination, FERPA, Clery and other laws.
• How a Section 1983 lawsuit can be used against individuals, and where the exposure is greatest.
• What the limits of personal and institutional insurance coverage are.
• Who provides (and pays for) legal defense.
• And much more.

The seminar looks closely at three recent cases that will have a profound effect on liability issues: DeJohn v. Temple, Fitzgerald v. Barnstable and McGrath v. Dominican College. You’ll learn why and how they’ll impact your school’s policies and practices. And you’ll discover why it’s essential that your school take three steps now:

• Perform a thorough compliance audit.
• Conduct a comprehensive rights audit.
• Revise your sexual and discriminatory harassment policies.

It’s critical information your institution–and you–need in order to respond effectively to the threat of lawsuits.
