Colleges and universities are now interacting with an expanded roster of regulatory bodies from across the federal government\, including the Department of Justice\, the Department of Education\, the Department of Health and Human Services\, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission – and even the White House itself. As the regulatory environment evolves\, counsel must contend with less predictability\, as well as a much wider range of authority\, statutory interpretations\, enforcement priorities\, and operating approaches. The result is greater uncertainty for institutions and increasingly complex considerations for college and university attorneys. Now more than ever\, institutions need an updated playbook for interacting with federal regulators. \n\n\n\n\nThe variety of federal investigative and enforcement actions being brought against colleges and universities\, and the key statutes\, regulatory authorities\, and policy directives undergirding these efforts;\n\n\n\nConsiderations that heighten the complexity of campus responses to federal regulators’ investigatory and enforcement demands\, including competing legal and other obligations;\n\n\n\nA comparison of how federal regulators’ approach to colleges and universities has evolved over time; and\n\n\n\nPractical considerations for campus counsel when responding to regulators’ information requests or when working to resolve enforcement actions that may arise.\n\n\n\n\nPlease join us for this two-hour webinar where our presenters will discuss topics including: \n\n\n\nWho Should Attend? \n\n\n\nThis webinar will be of interest to all college and university counsel as well as campus administrator colleagues who advise campuses on their wide range of federal legal and regulatory compliance obligations. This webinar will also be of interest to those counsel and administrators charged with leading\, coordinating\, and supporting campus responses to federal investigations and enforcement actions. \n\n\n\n\n\nSpeakers\n\n\n \n \n \n \n Philip “Phil” Catanzano\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Philip “Phil” Catanzano\n Co-Founder \n Education & Sports Law Group \n Member\, 2023-2026 \n \n \n \n \nPhil Catanzano is co-founder of Education & Sports Law Group.

Title VI enforcement remains a significant federal priority in President Trump’s second term. As a result\, colleges and universities are navigating heightened expectations to foster non-discriminatory\, welcoming environments for their faculty\, students\, and staff\, while also strengthening compliance practices and responses to federal investigations and enforcement activities. \n\n\n\nThis two-hour NACUA webinar will provide a timely overview of the current Title VI landscape. Presenters will discuss recent developments\, including relevant Executive Orders\, ongoing litigation\, and agency guidance\, and will offer practical guidance for institutions seeking to ensure compliance with Title VI guidance. \n\n\n\nTopics will include: \n\n\n\n\nKey considerations and best practices for establishing or enhancing a campus Title VI office\, or integrating Title VI functions within a broader civil rights office;\n\n\n\nRecent enforcement priorities and insights including from Resolution Agreements (under both current and prior administrations);\n\n\n\nStrategies for reviewing and aligning institutional policies with Title VI requirements;\n\n\n\nConsiderations in conducting effective Title VI investigations; and\n\n\n\nThe role of training in supporting institutional compliance and effective Title VI responses.\n\n\n\n\nWho Should Attend? \n\n\n\nThis webinar will be of interest to all college and university counsel\, particularly those who advise on Title VI matters (including campus policies on harassment and other forms of discrimination)\, student conduct\, compliance\, and belonging\, access\, and engagement\, as well as investigators and campus administrators with responsibilities related to these areas. \n\n\n\n\n\nSpeakers\n\n\n \n \n \n \n Philip “Phil” Catanzano\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Philip “Phil” Catanzano\n Co-Founder \n Education & Sports Law Group \n Member\, 2023-2026 \n \n \n \n \nPhil Catanzano is co-founder of Education & Sports Law Group.
