In addition to counseling and defending our clients, we pride ourselves on helping to educate our clients’ varied constituencies about how to avoid internal disputes and legal proceedings. Our depth of experience also allows us to offer training and follow-up that is not only comprehensive but also cost-effective. Our experience in education and training includes:
- Governance training for Board members and officers.
- Workshops for faculty members and administration, teaching compliance with anti-discrimination and harassment policies.
- Training for new administrators, chairs, and deans.
- Training of internal investigators about proper investigation and documentation of harassment complaints.
- Training of admission, student affairs, residence life, and disability personnel about accommodation of student disabilities in the classroom and throughout the campus.
- Training of campus constituencies regarding compliance with the ADA and major privacy laws, including FERPA and HIPAA.
- Focused training of different campus constituencies (such as on-campus police, athletic personnel, and counseling services) about their special compliance obligations.
A vital component of effective training is timely and continuing follow-up. We help institutions use training as an impetus to revise policies, refine procedures, and eliminate obsolete practices. We also help individuals apply the insights gained from training to daily challenges within the workplace or classroom.
