Implementing Preventive Law Best Practices

Colleges and universities are increasingly being referred to by another name nowadays: “defendant.”

Litigation–for myriad offenses, violations and grievances – is skyrocketing. Institutions often lose or settle these cases–at great expense. Sometimes they prevail–but also at great expense.

Once you’ve been sued, there really is no “winning.”

W. Scott Lewis, J. D., and Saundra K. Schuster, J. D., explain how universities are rethinking their approach to risk management–bolstering the existing centralized, top-down process, with a more localized, department-level practice of preventive law.

During this fact-filled, 90-minute seminar, you’ll gain valuable insight into issues including:

• Liability due to negligence, Title IX violations, ADA noncompliance and more.
• How to assess campus compliance with institutional policy, and realign the two, if necessary.
• FERPA, and why you may actually be spending too much time on it.
• How your attorneys and insurance providers can help “litigation-proof” your institution.
• How to fix a faulty disciplinary appeals process (for students and employees alike).
• Why it’s time to take the Clery Act seriously.
• How to plan now for the sea change in mental health demographics.

Mr. Lewis and Ms. Schuster are partners at the National Center for Higher Education Risk Management (NCHERM), with over 40 years of combined experience in higher ed law. They’re uniquely qualified to provide you with perspective on the swift, stunning and continuing changes in the legal landscape–and how to respond to them.
