Charting the Changes: FERPA and ADA

Fedeal Law Change Affects Your Campus

Campus Legal Briefing newsletterUnderstanding little changes that will have a big impact on your campus.

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 broadened 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.

Brett A. Sokolow, J.D., and Saundra K. Schuster, J.D., highlight the specific changes made to each act – in terms you can understand - and give you a sound explanation of how the changes affect your campus.
