Event Details

About this Event

On October 1, the U.S. Secretary of Education invited nine universities to enter into a “Compact for Academic Excellence in Higher Education.” The Compact essentially proposed the following agreement: access to “multiple positive benefits” including preferential access to federal funds in return for adherence to a slew of substantial administration policy priorities and accountability mechanisms. Most of the nine universities declined to sign the Compact. The administration then extended the opportunity to enter the Compact to every higher education institution in the country. Therefore, it is crucial that counsel prepare to imminently advise their institutions on the Compact and the issues it raises.

Please stream this 45-minute audio-only briefing during which expert presenters Lisa Brown and Frederick Lawrence will discuss the issues raised by the Compact to aid campus counsel as they advise their clients.

Note: This program is part of NACUA’s “Executive Branch Updates” series, which follows the Transition Updates: The First 100 Days series.

The world of employment and labor law is evolving at a breakneck pace. Executive branch action and court rulings have caused sweeping changes to many areas, such as hiring international faculty, student-athlete status, and employment-related Title VI and DEI challenges. Higher education attorneys and administrators are tasked with spotting important trends, managing ever-higher levels of risk, and ensuring the workforce continues to serve the university’s mission through this increasingly complex landscape. At the same time, campus counsel and administrators continue to manage day-to-day issues involving employees and labor on campus and through litigation.
Join us in Washington, D.C. for this comprehensive CLE Workshop on higher education employment law. Workshop sessions will cover relevant topics such as:

Employment litigation and labor law trends;
Faculty-specific issues, including faculty misconduct investigations, academic freedom, free speech, and intellectual property disputes;
Interpretating new guidance and trends regarding Title VI and DEI initiatives in the employment context;
Student-athletes as employees and associated NIL considerations;
Providing guidance during periods of workforce downsizing and managing your institution’s crisis communications; and
Other employment-related challenges, especially in light of increased immigration enforcement of international faculty and staff, artificial intelligence use on campus, a renewed focus on the False Claims Act, and conversations regarding employee compensation and benefits.

Workshop attendees will also have the opportunity to connect with colleagues and discuss relevant issues through discussion groups.
Who Should Attend?
This program is at the intermediate to advanced level. Presenters will assume attendees have some familiarity and experience with employment law. The workshop content will be most useful to college and university counsel with responsibility for employment law matters, as well as campus administrators who oversee matters related to employment law and labor issues.

Event Details

About this Event

International contracts play a major role in the increasingly complex global landscape of higher education. 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.

Please join us for this 2-hour webinar in which three experienced practitioners will cover topics, including:

An overview of the current state of international contracting in higher education;
Key considerations for creating international contracts and negotiating specific clauses;
Overview of maintaining and monitoring international contracts;
A case study highlighting challenges campus counsel and administrators may face.

Who Should Attend?
This 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.

Title IX: Same Regulations, New Problems
2026-02-23 12:00 - 14:00
Webinar

Time to Update the Playbook: The Expanded Lineup of Federal Higher Education Regulators

Event Details

About this Event

Colleges and universities are well-acquainted with the 2020 Title IX regulations implemented by the first Trump administration. However, the setting has changed. 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.

Please join us for this 2-hour webinar where presenters will cover:

Executive Branch Updates: The Legal Status of DEI in Higher Education

Time to Update the Playbook: The Expanded Lineup of Federal Higher Education Regulators

Event Details

About this Event

Within the first 48 hours of being sworn into office in 2025, the Trump administration issued two Executive Orders: “Ending Radical and Wasteful Government DEI Programs and Preferencing” (EO 14151) and “Ending Illegal Discrimination and Restoring Merit-Based Opportunity” (EO 14173). For almost a year, a nationwide injunction enjoined provisions of the EOs in National Association of Diversity Officers in Higher Education (NADOHE) v. Trump. The United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit vacated this on February 6, 2026, removing barriers to the administration terminating grants inconsistent with its priorities and requiring grant recipients to “sign off” that they do not have any programs in place which violate federal anti-discrimination law. According to the decision, plaintiffs can still challenge funding terminations through as-applied challenges. Other grant termination challenges are working their way through courts across the country, including a pending Ninth Circuit decision. Meanwhile, the administration has continued to scrutinize DEI through a whole-of-government approach with serious implications on nearly every industry and sector of society.

Please join us for this audio-only briefing, in which Josh Richards, Partner at Saul Ewing LLP, will provide a legal update and practical insights on what recent decisions and federal activity mean for the work of higher education lawyers and the institutions they represent.

Executive Branch Updates: Immigration and International Recruitment Developments
2026-03-06 13:00 - 13:30
Webinar

Time to Update the Playbook: The Expanded Lineup of Federal Higher Education Regulators

Event Details

About this Event

The Trump administration has continued to focus on immigration policy, visa and entry regulations, and international students, faculty, and researchers in its second year. Highly visible immigration enforcement action by federal law enforcement agents has sparked uncertainty and questions across the spectrum of stakeholders at colleges and universities. The government’s stance on the presence of foreign citizens at American institutions of higher education remains a live and evolving issue. In addition, litigation continues to wind its way through the courts, and states are starting to impose their own requirements on the conduct of federal immigration authorities within their borders. Against this backdrop, higher education lawyers must stay current on near-daily developments across these complex set of laws, regulations, federal agencies, and associated political factors to provide sound ongoing counsel.

Please join us for a 30-minute audio-only briefing during which NACUA member-experts, Leigh Cole and Xinning Shirley Liu, will provide an overview of the latest immigration-related developments impacting higher education and will highlight leading practical considerations to help you advise clients in this complex environment.

Note: This program is part of NACUA’s “Executive Branch Updates” series, which follows the Transition Updates: The First 100 Days series.

Event Details

About this Event

The federal regulatory landscape for higher education institutions has evolved significantly under the current administration. 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.

The 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;

Considerations that heighten the complexity of campus responses to federal regulators’ investigatory and enforcement demands, including competing legal and other obligations;

A comparison of how federal regulators’ approach to colleges and universities has evolved over time; and

Practical considerations for campus counsel when responding to regulators’ information requests or when working to resolve enforcement actions that may arise.

Please join us for this two-hour webinar where our presenters will discuss topics including:

Who Should Attend?

This 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.

About this Event

Six months ahead of the 2026 midterm elections, increased federal executive branch intervention and state-level changes are creating considerable trepidation as colleges and universities turn to preparing for the fall. Many pre-election activities – chief among them voter education and voter registration drives – have long been a staple of campus life. Yet recent government scrutiny and related developments have created uncertainty at a critical time for campus partners tasked with planning and holding these events, and have increased the associated legal risk for institutions.

Please join us for a 30-minute audio-only briefing during which NACUA member-experts, Peter McDonough and Anne Schira, will provide an overview of recent developments  that highlight considerations for institutional planning regarding student voting and campaign-related civic engagement activities in the lead-up to the 2026 midterm elections.

This program is being presented in collaboration with the American Council on Education, the American Association of Collegiate Registrars and Admissions Officers, and NASPA – Student Affairs Administrators in Higher Education.

About this Event

Institutions of higher education continue to face complex and evolving challenges related to complaints of discrimination and harassment based on race, color, national origin, and shared ancestry.

This 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.

Recent enforcement priorities and insights including from Resolution Agreements (under both current and prior administrations);

Strategies for reviewing and aligning institutional policies with Title VI requirements;

Considerations in conducting effective Title VI investigations; and

The role of training in supporting institutional compliance and effective Title VI responses.

Who Should Attend?

This 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.
