Jesse Krohn, Associate, Higher Education Industry Group, Saul Ewing LLP, will be speaking during the Delaware Valley Student Affairs Conference on March 1, 2024. Jesse's topic will be "Hot Topics in Student Affairs: Practical Tips for Identifying and Managing Risk."
This presentation makes the case that every student affairs employee's job involves identifying and managing risk -- even if they do not realize it. Participants will gain a strong understanding of the legal underpinnings of several hot topics in higher education, including accommodating students with disabilities; supporting students with mental health challenges; the legal landscape for DEI; and maintaining student privacy, to help them "issue spot" in their day-to-day work. Practical tips for managing risk will follow, including general best practices; effective policy management; and thoughtful use of communications and technology.
