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 Becca Gose\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Becca Gose\n Vice President and General Counsel \n Oregon State University (OSU) \n \n \n \n \nServes as Vice President and General Counsel for Oregon State University (OSU).

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 Becca Gose\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Becca Gose\n Vice President and General Counsel \n Oregon State University (OSU) \n \n \n \n \nServes as Vice President and General Counsel for Oregon State University (OSU).

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 Becca Gose\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Becca Gose\n Vice President and General Counsel \n Oregon State University (OSU) \n \n \n \n \nServes as Vice President and General Counsel for Oregon State University (OSU).

Depending on an institution’s size\, it can be nearly impossible for campus counsel to review every contract. 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 Becca Gose\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Becca Gose\n Vice President and General Counsel \n Oregon State University (OSU) \n \n \n \n \nServes as Vice President and General Counsel for Oregon State University (OSU).

However\, the expanding reach and evolution of social media platforms has challenged the law – and campus counsel – to keep pace. One post can unleash severe ideological clashes among faculty\, students\, and the community in a contentious political climate. A new reel can give rise to an entire workstream focused on student-athletes’ ability to use social media for commercial purposes. A five-word Tweet can lead to a five-month legal saga with the growing world of influencers providing social media commentary as the institution grapples with sensitive issues. These are just some of the complex situations arising from social media at colleges and universities. Join us for this 2-hour webinar where presenters will explore legal developments related to social media issues\, including:  \n\n\n\n\nAdvice for developing and revising social media policies\,\n\n\n\nUpdates on recent case law in the social media space\, including guidance on distinguishing “on-campus” from “off-campus” speech and on addressing and/or disciplining social media behavior by students or employees\,\n\n\n\nPointers for navigating cancel culture when it targets faculty or staff\, and\n\n\n\nPros and cons of institutional responses to disputes playing out on social media\, including considerations of reputational risk.\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. fficers and administrators\, and major gifts officers\, will also find this webinar valuable. \n\n\n\n\n\nSpeakers\n\n\n \n \n \n \n Becca Gose\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Becca Gose\n Vice President and General Counsel \n Oregon State University (OSU) \n \n \n \n \nServes as Vice President and General Counsel for Oregon State University (OSU).
