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 Deborah W.
