Practical Guidelines for Policy & Procedure Implementation, Balancing Student Needs & Institutional Obligations
Appreciating the growing complexities and high expectations of students arriving on campus today makes balancing the multiple federal and state laws impacting housing much more challenging for campus professionals. The legal demands placed on housing officers can leave the most seasoned professional confused and overwhelmed — opening your campus to potential non-compliance or lawsuit.
Our expert presenter outlines the emerging legal issues and trends facing housing professionals, provides practical tips for conducting policy review and revising communications to students and families, and helps you understand how to comply with key federal and state legal requirements, so you can prepare for high conflict situations.
