NACUA March 2012 CLE Workshop :: March 21-23, 2012 :: Fairmont Olympic Hotel :: Seattle, WA

Higher education employment law is influenced not only by statutes and regulations but also by agency enforcement priorities and societal and campus trends. Colleges and universities continue to struggle with the most difficult economy in decades and many have been forced to adopt employee-related cost-cutting measures.

More and more institutions are initiating or expanding their global operations and hiring workers in these foreign jurisdictions. Students, faculty and staff are connecting and commenting via social media sites with consequences extending beyond the internet. Several high profile cases demonstrate that no campus is immune from allegations of criminal acts by faculty and administrators.

NACUA's Higher Education Employment Law workshop will have 14 sessions on these hot topics as well as additional sessions on areas such as the ADA, OFCCP enforcement, and religious discrimination. The conference will also have ten small discussion groups designed for a candid exchange of ideas on targeted issues such as political activity by employees and whistleblowers.

The workshop is designed for experienced college and university employment lawyers and others on campus with significant employment law and human resources responsibilities.
