With legal compliance in the field of higher education sitting under increasing scrutiny, the attention has been drawn towards the Clery Act – a paramount piece of legislation integral to higher education compliance obligations. Critically, the Act is often the conduit enabling the Department of Education to dispense significant fines, positing Clery Act compliance as a team effort necessitated all-year round.
In an effort to address these concerns and provide some clarity on the issue, Bricker Graydon, a law firm with a specialized HigherEd team, is conducting a webinar dedicated to Clery Act Hot Topics on December 8th from 12:00 PM to 1:00 PM EST.
The team members Rob Kent and Joe Hall will provide an in-depth look at the operation of an effective campus Clery compliance program, shedding light on structural best practices and valuable guidelines for Clery coordinators and other essential campus figures.
The webinar aims to offer a non-theoretical and practical discussion, focusing on the nuts and bolts of the compliance program rather than abstract considerations. This should tangibly assist those charged with ensuring Clery Act compliance on campus by equipping them with actionable insights and the best means of employing them.
Given the gravity of the legislation and fines levied for non-compliance, Clery Act-related issues are becoming a perennial topic of importance in the realm of higher education. Therefore, this webinar, with its focus on tangible, real-world strategies for maintaining compliance should prove to be of immense value for professionals in universities, colleges, and law firms catering to higher education clientele.
The compliance landscape in higher education is ever-changing and at times enigmatic. Initiatives such as this offer a much-needed roadmap, the importance of which, is undeniable to legal professionals in the sector.
