From unprecedented acts of violence to high-profile legal challenges, recent events have raised questions on every college campus: How could this have been prevented? Could the institution have handled things differently afterwards? Is my institution prepared?

Get the answers you need to design effective crisis-management 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 policies and protocols for your entire campus community, with a focus on the lessons learned from the Duke rape case, the Virginia Tech shootings, and other high-profile campus crises. They 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 learn: why free speech and academic freedom do not relieve faculty of their obligation to protect their students and the institution; how to identify and evaluate student-related risks with a collaborative risk-management assessment; and how to create a multidisciplinary action team and communication plan to effectively address student-related problems.
