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.

State laws that differ in key areas such as due process and gender identity directly conflict with federal law. The current Trump administration has made clear through Executive Orders and enforcement that gender identity is a key focus\, forcing institutions to grapple with maintaining inclusive campuses while not running afoul of the law. Additionally\, there is a patchwork of caselaw across the United States on various Title IX issues. Against this complex backdrop\, campus counsel and Title IX coordinators balance supporting their campus community on sensitive Title IX matters while protecting the institution from legal risk.   \n\n\n\nPlease join us for this 2-hour webinar where presenters will cover:  \n\n\n\n\nThe current state of the law\, including conflicts between federal and state law;\n\n\n\nEnforcement against schools with gender inclusive policies; \n\n\n\nThorny issues related to policies in hot button areas\, such as housing and bathrooms; and\n\n\n\nTimely hypotheticals.\n\n\n\n\nWho Should Attend?   \n\n\n\nThis webinar will be of interest to college and university counsel who advise on Title IX\, as well as campus administrators with responsibilities related to this area of the law.  \n\n\n\n\n\nSpeakers\n\n\n \n \n \n \n Deborah W.

While these contracts enable global partnerships\, study abroad\, international campus operations\, and research collaborations critical to the mission of higher education institutions\, they pose challenges seemingly around every corner for college and university counsel. Counsel\, and other administrators in this space\, must navigate questions on how to create\, maintain\, and monitor international contracts that balance risk with innovation. How these questions are resolved can differ based on the contract type\, the partner country\, the nature of the data and information being shared\, and expected deliverables. \nPlease join us for this 2-hour webinar in which three experienced practitioners will cover topics\, including: \n\nAn overview of the current state of international contracting in higher education;\nKey considerations for creating international contracts and negotiating specific clauses;\nOverview of maintaining and monitoring international contracts;\nA case study highlighting challenges campus counsel and administrators may face.\n\nWho Should Attend? \nThis webinar will be of interest to college and university counsel who advise on international contracts\, as well as campus administrators with responsibilities in these areas. \n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSpeakers\n\n\n \n \n \n \n Deborah W.

Over the past two years\, institutions have been subject to numerous government investigations into the aftermath of their responses to campus protests and unrest following the attacks on October 7\, 2023. The challenges faced by institutions are significant and consequential: simultaneously ensuring a welcoming and non-discriminatory educational experience for students\, while respecting core constitutional and academic freedoms. However\, good faith efforts to achieve a balance and avoid escalation have sometimes led to inconsistent policy enforcement\, leaving many students feeling unwelcome and unsafe on campus. This webinar will consider and evaluate foundational principles\, evolving approaches\, and leading considerations to Title VI compliance in the context of the government’s current focus on antisemitism\, but will be broadly applicable to preventing and addressing all forms of national origin and shared ancestry discrimination\, including anti-Arab\, and anti-Muslim harassment.   \n\n\n\nPlease join us for this two-hour webinar in which two experienced practitioners will cover: \n\n\n\n\nThe legal foundation\, current government guidance\, and enforcement posture applicable to complaints and incidents of harassment and other forms of discrimination based on national origin and shared ancestry;\n\n\n\nLegal and practical considerations for addressing protests and expressive activity that may result in complaints of discrimination and harassment\, including antisemitism and Islamophobia;\n\n\n\nApproaches to identifying and remedying a hostile environment based on national origin harassment on campus; understanding the “totality of circumstances” that may contribute to a hostile environment for students and other campus constituents; properly assessing and acting on third-party and anonymous complaints; developing a campus culture that supports civil discourse; and\n\n\n\nPractical and procedural steps that counsel and campus partners can take in anticipation of potential government inquiries into institutional compliance with Title VI\, including recent calls to appoint Title VI Coordinators on campuses.\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 Deborah W.

The Trump Administration has put research funding under a spotlight\, greatly affecting the sponsored projects ecosystem within higher education.  As the situation evolves\, additional developments emerge from the administration\, and litigation winds through the courts\, campus counsel are called upon to address a high volume of questions about federal award termination\, administrative appeals\, litigation\, and certifications\, among others. Given the various stakeholders and fundamental institutional interests in play\, it is now imperative that counsel advise and assist institutional leaders in developing communication strategies around these issues.     \n\n\n\nPlease join us for this two-hour webinar in which three experienced practitioners will cover topics to aid counsel in advising clients and advocating for the interests of the institutional research enterprise\, including:  \n\n\n\n\nDistinctions between federal grants and contracts;\n\n\n\nOverview of grant and contract terminations\, including considerations for the awardee;\n\n\n\nConsiderations and strategies regarding administrative appeals\, litigation\, and certifications; and\n\n\n\nDiscussion of communication strategies to consider on your campus.\n\n\n\n\nWho Should Attend?  \n\n\n\nThis webinar will be of interest to college and university counsel who advise research clients\, and/or advise on federal awards\, as well as campus administrators with responsibilities related to this area of the law.    \n\n\n\nNote: This webinar is an in-depth expansion of content initially presented in a briefing titled “The First 100 Days | Federal Grants: What Counsel Need to Know Today” that was presented on April 11\, 2025.  \n\n\n\n\n\nSpeakers\n\n\n \n \n \n \n Deborah W.

It also introduced a level of institutional discretion absent in the 2020 Final Rule.   \n\n\n\nLitigation ensued\, challenging various aspects of the 2024 Final Rule\, in particular the inclusion of “gender identity” as a protected category within sex-based harassment. On January 9\, 2025\, the U.S District Court for the Eastern District of Kentucky issued its decision in Tennessee v. Cardona\, vacating the 2024 Final Rule by ruling that that the Department exceeded its authority in implementing the regulations and that the 2024 Final Rule and its corresponding regulations also violated the U.S. Constitution.   \n\n\n\nNine days later\, Donald J. Trump was sworn in as the 47th President of the United States\, and thereafter the Department issued a new Dear Colleague Letter announcing its intention to enforce the 2020 Final Rule. In the weeks since\, the Department has made enforcement of a narrow definition of gender in both investigations and athletics participation a keystone priority\, most recently announcing an interagency task force toward that end.   \n\n\n\nPlease join NACUA for a 2-hour webinar\, in which our member experts will provide an in-depth exploration of the rapid transformation of Title IX over the last twelve months. This webinar will equip you with the knowledge to navigate confidently in the current era of Title IX enforcement.   \n\n\n\nNote: This webinar is a follow-up to a webinar that was presented on May 17\, 2024\, and a complimentary briefing that was presented on January 24\, 2025. It will be of interest to postsecondary counsel who handle sexual misconduct matters\, Title IX coordinators and investigators\, student affairs professionals\, human resources professionals\, and other campus administrators responsible for student and employee misconduct matters.  \n\n\n\n\n\nSpeakers\n\n\n \n \n \n \n Deborah W.

The vast amount of student\, patient\, and research data make higher education institutions increasingly attractive targets for criminals and bad actors\, who are constantly improving their capabilities to carry out acts of intrusion\, theft\, and disruption. The ensuing security and data breaches carry significant legal and reputational risk for institutions. However\, the preventive measures required to stay one step ahead of the bad actors and to comply with the expanding patchwork of data security and privacy laws and regulations carry notable costs and nuanced considerations of their own. In light of these substantial risks and evolving threat landscape\, counsel must remain informed on the current state of cybersecurity law.  \n\n\n\nPlease join us for this two-hour webinar featuring expert presenters with deep knowledge and practical experience in the cybersecurity issues impacting higher education. The webinar will include:  \n\n\n\n\nOverview of the current cyber threat landscape\, including high-profile incidents and enforcement; \n\n\n\nOverview of the cybersecurity compliance framework\, including new and emerging laws and regulations;  \n\n\n\nDiscussion of privilege considerations in cyber threat responses\, investigations\, and post-incident analysis; and \n\n\n\nConsideration of several practical cybersecurity challenges for higher education institutions including the top stressors and challenges for IT personnel and resources\, as well as emerging trends and considerations in procurement\, contracting\, and cyber insurance. \n\n\n\n\nWho Should Attend?  \n\n\n\nThis webinar will be of interest to college and university counsel who advise on cybersecurity\, data security\, and/or compliance issues\, as well as campus administrators with responsibilities in those areas such as compliance officers\, procurement officers\, risk managers\, and IT and technology leaders.  \n\n\n\n\n\nSpeakers\n\n\n \n \n \n \n Deborah W.

However\, a single incident at a postsecondary institution can trigger multiple investigations by different offices on campus and the discovery of unknown information during those investigations can lead to even more investigations. Additionally\, public relations pressure can further complicate an already overwhelming\, multifaceted investigative process. It is crucial that campus counsel and others involved in internal investigations have a solid grasp on when an investigation should be opened\, the different stages of investigative processes\, and how to maintain solid oversight of simultaneous internal investigations.   \n\n\n\nPlease join us for this 2-hour webinar where presenters will explore:  \n\n\n\n\nThe pre-investigations stage\, such as fact gathering\, jurisdictional issues\, how to initiate the process\, and other related issues; \n\n\n\nHow to manage oversight of multiple investigations\, including ordering of investigations and determining how different stakeholders should coordinate and communicate with one another; \n\n\n\nPrivilege issues and other privacy laws implicated by investigations; and  \n\n\n\nHypotheticals illustrating how to think through these concepts.  \n\n\n\n\nWho should attend?  \n\n\n\nThis webinar will be of interest to college and university counsel who conduct internal investigations\, as well as campus administrators with responsibilities related to internal investigations. \n\n\n\n\n\nSpeakers\n\n\n \n \n \n \n Deborah W.

However\, a single incident at a postsecondary institution can trigger multiple investigations by different offices on campus and the discovery of unknown information during those investigations can lead to even more investigations. Additionally\, public relations pressure can further complicate an already overwhelming\, multifaceted investigative process. It is crucial that campus counsel and others involved in internal investigations have a solid grasp on when an investigation should be opened\, the different stages of investigative processes\, and how to maintain solid oversight of simultaneous internal investigations.   \n\n\n\nPlease join us for this 2-hour webinar where presenters will explore:  \n\n\n\n\nThe pre-investigations stage\, such as fact gathering\, jurisdictional issues\, how to initiate the process\, and other related issues; \n\n\n\n\n\nHow to manage oversight of multiple investigations\, including ordering of investigations and determining how different stakeholders should coordinate and communicate with one another; \n\n\n\n\n\nPrivilege issues and other privacy laws implicated by investigations; and  \n\n\n\n\n\nHypotheticals illustrating how to think through these concepts.  \n\n\n\n\nWho should attend?  \n\n\n\nThis webinar will be of interest to college and university counsel who conduct internal investigations\, as well as campus administrators with responsibilities related to internal investigations.   \n\n\n\n\n\n\nSpeakers\n\n\n \n \n \n \n Deborah W.

It is a combination of federal\, state\, and local laws\, interpreted via inconsistent and occasionally conflicting jurisprudence across different jurisdictions\, which is further complicated by regulatory and sub-regulatory guidance. Beyond the complicated legal framework\, higher education counsel are also often called upon to advise their clients on how to navigate the politics attendant to the law(s) of gender identity on campus.     \n\n\n\nPlease join us for this two-hour webinar in which a trio of NACUA member-experts will examine the legal authority and practical considerations impacting gender identity in the postsecondary space\, including:  \n\n\n\n\nTitle IX\, including related to healthcare\, athletics\, facilities use\, and minors on campus;\n\n\n\nTitle VII\, including legal developments post-Bostock v. Clayton Cty. (2020); \n\n\n\nReligious accommodations & academic freedom\, including name and pronouns usage; and  \n\n\n\nAn overview of emerging State law trends. \n\n\n\n\nWho Should Attend?   \n\n\n\nThis webinar will interest in-house and outside college and university counsel who advise on matters related to antidiscrimination law and related policies\, as well as campus administrators and other professionals on campus who maintain responsibilities in these areas. \n\n\n\n\n\nSpeakers\n\n\n \n \n \n \n Deborah W.

As anticipated\, the Final Rule makes several significant departures from the 2020 Rule\, by expanding Title IX’s scope\, including expanding the definition of sex-based discrimination and harassment\, and broadening what triggers an institutional response obligation\, among other things. At the same time\, the Final Rule introduces a level of institutional discretion not present in the current regulations. \n\n\n\nPlease join us for this 2-hour webinar\, in which our member experts will provide an in-depth exploration of the Title IX Final Rule\, unveiling its expanded scope and implications. From the evolving landscape of gender equity in higher education to crucial compliance strategies\, this webinar will equip you with the knowledge to navigate confidently in the new era of Title IX enforcement. In particular\, the presenters will discuss: \n\n\n\n\nDefinitions and jurisdiction\, including expanded protections for LGBTQI+ and pregnant students;\n\n\n\nNotification requirements and what triggers an institutional response;\n\n\n\nThe Title IX coordinator’s duties; requirements for pregnancy and pregnancy related conditions; and new training obligations for all employees and anyone involved in the grievance process;\n\n\n\nPre-hearing obligations\, including content about complaints; initiating a complaint when there is an unwilling complainant; and supportive measures;\n\n\n\nThe formal and informal grievance process with respect to sex-based discrimination and sexual harassment;\n\n\n\nIllustrative content from the preamble\, ambiguities\, and practical tips for college and university personnel as they begin to think about operationalizing the changes;\n\n\n\nOther content\, including retroactivity\, retaliation\, preemption\, and more.\n\n\n\n\nNote: This webinar is a follow-up to a complimentary briefing that was presented on April 25\, 2024.  It is presumed that webinar participants are generally familiar with the Final Rule.

In-house counsel play a pivotal role in advising clients on the viability of a deal\, both with respect to alignment of strategic priorities and the best course of action\, whether it be a change in ownership\, closure and teach-out plans\, or no deal at all.    \n\n\n\nPlease join us for this 2-hour webinar in which a NACUA general counsel will engage expert outside counsel and counsel for a regional accrediting agency in conversation about the critical challenges on the path to a successful transaction\, including:   \n\n\n\n\nThe multiple dimensions of pre-planning\, planning and due diligence required for a successful transaction and institutional integration;  \n\n\n\nThe new two-step process the Department of Education requires to maintain Title IV program participation for the acquired entity between closing and final regulatory approvals;  \n\n\n\nNavigating state authorization and substantive change processes with the institutions’ accreditors; and  \n\n\n\nAdditional post-transaction considerations.   \n\n\n\n\nWho should attend?    \n\n\n\nThis webinar will be of interest to in-house and outside counsel to colleges and universities\, as well as senior institutional leaders who guide the integration of operations\, academics\, and institutional cultures. start on anticipated web-based accessibility standards under Title III..  \n\n\n\n\n\nSpeakers\n\n\n \n \n \n \n Deborah W.

However\, in recent years\, legislatures across the country have decreased deference to higher education and ramped up their involvement and interest in daily campus operations. This new reality requires campus counsel to be involved in actively monitoring and at times participating in the legislative affairs process\, whether an institution has a government relations team or not. \n\n\n\nPlease join us for this 2-hour webinar where three expert NACUA member attorneys will provide advice and guidance for how to successfully oversee and interact with the legislative process\, including: \n\n\n\n\nInformation on how to build an internal legislative affairs process\, including pre and post legislative session considerations and action items;\n\n\n\nTips for developing and maintaining positive working relationships with legislators and all of the other players involved in the legislative process\, including legislative staff;\n\n\n\nAdvice for how to successfully be responsive to and manage relations among various stakeholders during session\, including the president\, governing board\, system leadership (if applicable)\, legislators\, and the Governor’s office;\n\n\n\nTechniques and strategies for campus counsel’s crucial role of on-campus implementation for new laws once a legislative session ends; and\n\n\n\nExploration of related legal issues\, such as tension between the legislative process and fiduciary duties and accreditation principles.\n\n\n\n\nWho should attend? \n\n\n\nThis webinar will be of interest to in-house and outside counsel to colleges and universities\, as well as other higher education administrators who work in the areas of government affairs or compliance with state laws. Much of the content will be from the perspective of public institutions\, but private institutions will also benefit from information on navigating the legislative process. \n\n\n\n\n\nSpeakers\n\n\n \n \n \n \n Deborah W.

Information regarding each program’s performance will then be available on the Department’s website\, and institutions will be required to disclose its availability to prospective and current students.  For graduate degree programs with failing outcomes under the debt-burden measures\, prospective students will be required to acknowledge viewing the Department’s new website before entering into an enrollment agreement.  For failing non-degree programs\, institutions must adhere to warning and disclosure requirements for both prospective and current students.  And non-degree programs that fail multiple years will lose Title IV eligibility.  \n\n\n\nJoin us for this 2-hour webinar in which two expert NACUA member attorneys will discuss:  \n\n\n\n\nThe origins of the Financial Value Transparency and Gainful Employment Rule\,\n\n\n\nThe new reporting and disclosure requirements under the Rule and the logistical challenges to expect in establishing compliance\,\n\n\n\nHow the Department will evaluate each academic program and the likely potential consequences of receiving “high-debt-burden” or “low-earning” labels\, and\n\n\n\nHow to prepare campus leaders and stakeholders to build Financial Value Transparency evaluations into academic program planning and review.\n\n\n\n\nWho Should Attend? \n\n\n\nThis webinar will be of interest to lawyers employed by colleges and universities within the Office of General Counsel and in various roles throughout the institution\, outside counsel\, and senior institutional leaders.  \n\n\n\n\n\nSpeakers\n\n\n \n \n \n \n Deborah W.

Therefore\, officers and employees on campus are often granted delegated signature authority to enter into contracts on behalf of the institution. \n\n\n\nPlease join us for a 2-hour webinar where two expert NACUA member attorneys will discuss delegated contractual authority\, including:  \n\n\n\n\nDiscussion on best practices for implementing a contractual authority policy or process\, including tips and samples for creating a delegated contractual authority matrix;\n\n\n\nDistinctions between campus counsel’s role vs. the role of institutional business partners; \n\n\n\nLitigation issues\, including those related to personal liability;\n\n\n\nCaselaw for both public and private institutions;\n\n\n\nIssues pertaining to certain types of contracts\, such as clickthrough agreements.\n\n\n\n\nWho should attend? \n\n\n\nThis webinar will be of interest to in-house and outside counsel to colleges and universities\, as well as other higher education administrators who draft or approve contracts. \n\n\n\n\n\nSpeakers\n\n\n \n \n \n \n Deborah W.
