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 Kelly Hendricken\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Kelly Hendricken\n Managing Counsel for Student Affairs \n State University of New York \n \n \n \n \nKelly Hendricken joined the State University of New York Office of General Counsel in 2018 and currently serves as Managing Counsel for Student Affairs.

At the same time\, real estate law is a world unto itself with its own language and practices. While some large institutions may have real estate experts in their legal departments\, many institutions have one or two generalists who also handle leasing from time to time. \n\n\n\nJoin us for a 90-minute webinar in which two expert NACUA member attorneys and a campus Director of Real Estate Planning will discuss the role of campuses as landlords in the commercial leasing context\, including: \n\n\n\n\nPre-planning considerations to think about before beginning negotiations with a potential tenant;\n\n\n\nPost-execution communications and lease management;\n\n\n\nWhat to include in a well-crafted letter of intent;\n\n\n\nCoordination with other departments on campus;\n\n\n\nLease provisions of particular concern in the higher education context;\n\n\n\nTerms to pay particular attention to\, and more.  \n\n\n\n\nWho Should Attend?This is an introductory-level webinar which will be of particular interest to counsel who are new to higher education law or new to real-estate work. \n\n\n\n\n\nSpeakers\n\n\n \n \n \n \n Kelly Hendricken\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Kelly Hendricken\n Managing Counsel for Student Affairs \n State University of New York \n \n \n \n \nKelly Hendricken joined the State University of New York Office of General Counsel in 2018 and currently serves as Managing Counsel for Student Affairs.

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 Kelly Hendricken\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Kelly Hendricken\n Managing Counsel for Student Affairs \n State University of New York \n \n \n \n \nKelly Hendricken joined the State University of New York Office of General Counsel in 2018 and currently serves as Managing Counsel for Student Affairs.
