Campus housing professionals face a wide array of federal and state statutory and regulatory compliance issues, as well as decisions on how to best balance and mitigate risks. Course participants receive an overview of these top legal issues in a manner that avoids overly academic or legal language and instead draws heavily from a range of real-world situations. By focusing on possible scenarios, it guides participants through a clear analysis process to consider relevant laws, cases, and legal principles to arrive at a conclusion that satisfactorily manages potential risk. This course will introduce participants to basic legal principles related to campus housing contracts, constitutional rights, privacy, civil torts, and risk management, as well as an overview of relevant issues, including mental health, freedom of speech, disability, threat assessment, and more.
