Conference Overview | Hotel & Travel | Registration & Fees | Schedule | Speakers
Laws and policies affect the work of student affairs administrators every day. These professionals must stay abreast of the issues and ever-changing legal environment in order to provide the best service to both students and their campuses. With the Dear Colleague letter and changes to Title IX and the increased scrutiny of campus safety and security, student affairs educators are at the forefront of these discussions. NASPA has partnered to bring together professionals in both student affairs and law to provide current legal information per case law; recommend examples from various higher education institutions; and offer the opportunity to discuss, dissect, and bridge theory to practice.
The NASPA Student Affairs Law & Policy Conference has included workshops on the following topic areas:
- Office of Civil Rights, Title IX, and Dear Colleague Letter
- Crime Prevention & Student Affairs
- The Lawyer–Client Relationship: Attorney/Client Privilege
- Mental Health, Disability Accommodations and Legal Issues
- Legal Issues: Student Organizations, Hazing, Greek Life, and Athletics
- Underground Student Groups
- Forced Staff Reductions, Human Resources, and Legal Implications
- Social Media, Cyber Bullying and Free Speech
- Sexual Assault and Policy Implications
Participants will gain new skills in policy development and management, which should assist them in deliverables such as new policy language or new forms of student discipline processes. Registrants will also have the opportunity to participate in small group discussions specific to their role on campus.
