Conducting Rights and Compliance Audits: Implementing Results
Legal Strategy For Rights Violations
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 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?
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–and you can learn more about them in this seminar.
Brett Sokolow, J. D., and W. Scott Lewis, J. D., partners in the National Center for Higher Education Risk Management, review models for conducting both rights and compliance audits in this 90-minute seminar.
First, you’ll learn how to audit institutional policy in areas including:
