Managing Toxic Campus Conduct: Legal & Strategic Imperatives

What happens when colleagues don’t behave … collegially?

What do you do when faced with toxic conduct from faculty and staff – conduct that may include harassment, intimidation, discrimination, bullying, retaliation, abuse of policies, or even threats and physical violence?

Colleges and universities face special challenges in addressing such behaviors, in part because of their unique conditions of employment – including faculty tenure and staff unionization.

You can learn sound approaches to help you meet those challenges from two leading practitioners of higher-ed law in this seminar.

Attorneys Ellen M. Babbitt, a partner in Babbitt, Land and Warner and a frequent writer and speaker for the National Association of College and University Attorneys (NACUA), and Kathleen A. Rinehart, partner at Whyte, Herschboek & Dudek, SC, prior board member of NACUA and general counsel to numerous colleges and universities, examine:

• Best practices you should follow in hiring, evaluation and post-tenure review.
• Essential components of your discipline, grievance and tenure-termination processes.
• Ways to stay “legal” when confronting unacceptable behavior.
• The potential legal (and other) consequences of failing to address toxic conduct and bad behavior.
• The dispute-resolution techniques you can introduce to help prevent or minimize conflict.
• The need to build a culture of effective supervisory engagement among administrators.

You’ll come away with important insights and practical strategies to help you tackle the difficult job of managing difficult people.
