Develop & Implement Policies to Support Students of Concern and Legally Protect Your Institution
Updating and improving existing student leaves and readmission policies helps make legal, defensible decisions and support students of concern. Determining the best way to respond to students who are deemed to be a threat to themselves, or others, and crafting those policies effectively is a very daunting task.
Join our expert presenter on April 2, 2025, as she provides the practical advice you are seeking and the roadmap you need to craft policies for safety concerns and to navigate the various types of departures. Additionally, you’ll explore the criteria for a safe readmission of a student of concern. She will breakdown the recent case law about suicidal students, as well as the enforcement actions pursued by the Office for Civil Rights and the Department of Justice.
Gain the confidence to update and improve existing student policies, to reduce confusion, and to make difficult conversations with students and their families easier. Protect your institution from unwanted costly lawsuits.
Topics Covered
Gain crucial, actionable takeaways that will help you:
