Legal Landmines for Distance Education Administrators

Are you prepared to sidestep the legal landmines that can explode your college’s online program?

When you offer distance education programming, you can open yourself and your institution to potential legal nightmares ranging from copyright infringement ($150,000 per violation) and intellectual property issues to harassment and defamation claims.

There are tort and disability regulations to consider, along with related liability issues.

To safeguard your college’s reputation and pocketbook, there are important steps you need to take regarding your distance education programming. An impenetrable distance education program will erect defensive “firewalls'” to provide necessary protection in the event of a legal challenge.

This is particularly important now that administrators are being found personally liable for many of these infractions.

Debi Moon, J.D. and Rob Jenkins, M.A. provide practical advice to online college administrators and campus legal affairs professionals on how to limit exposure to litigation through online programming.

What you will learn:

• The top three legal landmines in an online program
• Determining your institution’s risk level
• Identifying gaps in risk management strategies
• Designing contracts to protect investment in faculty-developed materials
• How to analyze websites for potential copyright violations
• Strategies to avoid defamation or harassment issues online
• Avoiding tort and disability law violations
• Sample intellectual property and copyright policies

You will also complete an “Is Your College at Risk?” analysis, review relevant case studies, and receive a summary action plan for implementation at your institution.
