Program Description

Higher education discrimination law continues to evolve and change. While traditional forms of discrimination still exist, technology has expanded the ways in which discrimination and harassment can occur. The Department of Justice recently enacted new ADA regulations and new FMLA regulations will likely be issued sometime in the near future. Retaliation charges filed with the EEOC have soared in recent years. Employee populations are growing older and student populations are becoming increasingly diverse. The use of race in college admissions continues to be challenged in federal court and will likely again go to the Supreme Court. This workshop addresses these and other key and current issues in higher education discrimination law today.

The program also includes two sets of small discussion groups allowing registrants to exchange ideas, pose questions, and share experiences and solutions on such targeted subjects as distressed and dangerous employees and students, litigation in multiple forums, HR responses to difficult economic times and student organizations after Martinez.

Please join us in New Orleans for professional education led by experts in the field of discrimination law as well as networking and discussion with NACUA colleagues.
