From suicide attempts to eating disorders, and from alcohol and drug abuse to Facebook.com postings, a wrong decision involving student conduct can result in lawsuits or even student death.
Combine legal and student affairs expertise to craft sound student conduct policies.
In this 90-minute recorded audio conference, Attorney Allan Shackelford and Dean of Students Anne Lundquist give you guidance to develop -- and implement -- effective student conduct policies and protocols for your entire student body, with a focus on students with both disclosed and undisclosed disabilities. The presenters will discuss laws that affect your campus; specific incidents you may face; prevention policies; response techniques; and ways to deal with parents, faculty and the media in the aftermath of a student crisis.
This is a must-have resource -- combining expert legal opinion with veteran student affairs experience. You'll get a legal review and student affairs perspective of Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act; The Americans with Disabilities Act; FERPA; The Clery Act; and The Drug Free Campus Act.
And, you'll learn the reasoning -- with recent court cases to back it up -- behind why you should:
- Err on the side of informing parents early-on when problems arise
- Use Facebook, MySpace and other websites to keep tabs on students' behavior
- Consider barring students from campus, in writing, after misconduct
- Create protocol for students who pose a threat to themselves
- Educate your campus community about student mental health needs
