Sexual assault on our nation’s campuses is becoming all too familiar,
leading some to conclude that it has reached epidemic proportions. It
seems that no institution is immune. Preparing to respond to a report of
a sexual assault should take place before one occurs—not after an
incident has been reported. The risks of not responding properly can be
significant and can often undermine both the rights of victims and the
accused alike, while at the same time exposing the institution to legal
liability and adverse publicity.
In mid-2014 President Obama declared his intention to stamp out what he perceives as an excessive number of sexual assaults on our university campuses, and the U.S. Department of Education, Office of Civil Rights has named 100 plus universities which it claims have mismanaged sexual assault cases on their campuses. Under Title IX of the Higher Education Act and the Clery, both of which were amended in 2014 by the Violence Against Women Act, training of faculty and staff is no longer optional.
Everyone shares responsibility for promptly and effectively responding to sexual-assault allegations. Opportunities for mishandling such super-sensitive cases, however, are ever-present from the moment a victim levels an accusation until the allegation has been resolved and the accused employee or student has either been disciplined or exonerated. The chances of you and your institution being sued by the accuser or the accused are roughly equal … even if you do everything right! Following best practices is absolutely critical to make sure that both the victim’s and the accused’s rights are protected and the potential risks of your school being sued are minimized. Please join Dr. James Ottavio Castagnera, Esq., managing director of K&C HR Enterprises and legal counsel at Rider University, for guidance and best practices for protecting both your school and the victims in situations of sexual assault.
He is the author of 18 books, including the Handbook for Student Law for Higher Education Administrators (Peter Lang, 2010, revised edition 2014) and a text book titled Counter Terrorism Issues: Case Studies in the Courtroom (CRC Press 2013).
His teaching experience includes continuing legal education courses, webinars and presentations at numerous national forums, including the Annual Conference of the National Center for the Study of Collective Bargaining in Higher Education and the Annual Homeland Defense and Security Higher Education Summit sponsored by the Naval Postgraduate School.

The sub-culture of cheating remains the most pervasive problem
confronting institutions of higher learning today. A 2012 survey of
23,000 students revealed that 51% of college students admitted cheating
on an exam and/or other assessment one or more times during the
preceding academic year. Common methods of cheating included:

Despite the many challenges facing higher education in the United
States, America remains the destination of choice for both undergraduate
and graduate students from all over the world. In fact, it’s fair to
say that U.S. colleges and universities comprise one of the few cutting
edge enterprises in which America remains the world-beater. Nearly all
universities, public and private, as well as many community colleges,
seek their share of the global student market. While successful
recruitment of international students is both financially rewarding and
pedagogically desirable, the legal and administrative challenges can be
daunting.
Since September 11, 2001, the federal government has paid special attention to students coming to our campuses from abroad. The Student and Exchange Visitor Program (SEVP), administered by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) uses the SEVIS website to track international students from their admission to our institutions to their graduation … and beyond. Attaining and maintaining SEVIS certification is essential to admitting such students. And understanding the intricacies of SEVIS is essential to retaining certification.
International student and faculty exchange programs under the auspices of the U.S. Department of State also require SEVIS certification. Additionally, the J-1 visa is a broad umbrella that covers a wide range of international relationships, including student exchange programs and guest faculty from abroad. Biannual recertification with the state department is yet another burden upon the school which wants to participate in such programs.
Keeping our international students in F-1 or J-1 status requires a solid understanding of their rights and obligations. Particularly complex are the rules regarding international students’ right to work. Get this right, and your school can offer vibrant internship programs and robust post-graduate career-placement programs. Get it wrong, and your students can fall out of status and be open to deportation.
Please join Dr. Jim Castagnera, attorney at law, associate provost, Rider University for a step-by-step analysis of the practical and legal requirements associated with successfully managing your international student population.
He is the author of 19 books, including the Handbook for Student Law for Higher Education Administrators (Peter Lang, 2010, revised edition 2014), which is available at Your text to link… and Counter Terrorism Issues (CRC Press 2013).

According to the U.S. Department of Education, 88 percent of all
American colleges and universities enroll students with documented
disabilities. Without a doubt, due to the Americans with Disabilities
Act and other federal and state legislation, together with vastly
improved diagnostic, medication and treatment regimes, students with
disabilities represent a large and growing presence on our campuses.
This poses new challenges for colleges and universities when it comes to
the classroom and the Internet and any related adaptive technologies,
and achieving full participation in the college experience for their
students with disabilities, both on campus and online.
Effectively utilizing technology has almost become a requisite for success in college. Too often, however, students with disabilities face unintended obstacles when it comes to the Internet and other resources most of us take for granted. Included are questions relating to the availability of necessary adaptive technologies and modifications in traditional instructional methods which allow the student with a disability to benefit from an available technology such as Kurzweil reading, Dragon text to speech, etc. Regardless of the reason, the large and growing population of students with disabilities on our campuses in search of a meaningful educational experience presents evolving challenges that track changes in instructional technology, as well as legal expectations. A recent commentary in the Chronicle of Higher Education describes the current higher education environment many students with disabilities are facing. “Most people assume technology expands opportunities for students with disabilities. While the potential exists, it can be realized only if technology is designed and coded with equal access in mind. Despite years of public-awareness campaigns, legal challenges, and advocacy efforts, many commonly used technologies built or purchased by colleges—email systems, learning-management systems, library databases, classroom materials—actually do more to prevent students with disabilities from equal participation than paper-based systems ever did.” (Kyle Shachmut, “A New Obstacle for Students with Disabilities,” 9/12/14. Accessed at http://chronicle.com/article/A-New-Obstacle-for-Students/148795.)
Sound pedagogy, along with risk management and avoidance of unwanted litigation, all require that universities and colleges face these challenges. Please join Dr. James Ottavio Castagnera, legal counsel, Rider University, as he discusses how to better prepare your faculty and staff to recognize and wrestle with these challenges, and describes both the legal requirements to accommodate students with disabilities, and the practical considerations involved.
He is the author of 18 books, including the Handbook for Student Law for Higher Education Administrators (Peter Lang, 2010, revised edition 2014) and a text book titled Counter Terrorism Issues: Case Studies in the Courtroom (CRC Press 2013).

The 21st Century has heralded dramatic changes in higher education.
In the words of Harvard Business School Professor Clayton Christensen,
universities are “on the edge of the crevasse.” Author of The Innovative University,
Dr. Christensen means that those institutions that fail to recognize
and adapt to the challenges facing our aging industry will be in
bankruptcy by the middle of the next decade.
The tweedy world of Mr. Chips in which colleges could afford to tolerate tenured faculty who taught a few days a week and devoted a few office hours to serving their students is a quaint, arcane memory. The tenured faculty represents the most significant investment of every college and university. And if this asset isn’t being used to maximum advantage, then it is a fiscal millstone dragging the institution down.
In addition to effectively deploying the faculty for teaching; research and grantsmanship are also essential. In areas of teaching and research intellectual property issues are paramount. With regard to delivery of instruction, the new technologies that led Dr. Christensen to make his provocative pronouncement require significant front-end investment and substantial ongoing support from the institution. Consequently, traditional, laissez faire customs concerning ownership of intellectual property are obsolete. The university has a vested interest in owning the IP of instructional delivery methods and content.
In the research realm, the artifacts of the creative process − scientific inventions, business and technology processes, and artistic productions − may be invaluable to the organization − provided the institution has a legally enforceable interest up front and a technology transfer function on the back end.
Please join Dr. James Ottavio Castagnera as he guides you through a discussion of the types of IP faculty members are producing and reviews legal and practical steps for your institution to take to protect its claims of ownership.
He is the author of 19 books, including the Handbook for Student Law for Higher Education Administrators (Peter Lang, 2010, revised edition 2014) and Al Qaeda Goes to College: Impact of the War on Terror on Higher Education (Praeger 2009).
His teaching experience includes continuing legal education courses, MOOCs on the Canvas Network − including “Risk Management in Higher Education: Student Issues” − and presentations at numerous national forums, including the Annual Conference of the National Center for the Study of Collective Bargaining in Higher Education and the Annual Homeland Defense and Security Higher Education Summit sponsored by the Naval Postgraduate School.

Who Should Attend? Administrators, faculty, staff, higher education counsel
The 21st Century has heralded dramatic changes in higher education.
Among them is the transformation of students and their parents into
savvy consumers. They are buying a product − a diploma, a certification,
a license to practice a profession − and they have many more options in
the marketplace than ever before. The product you offer is expensive
and your consumers demand that you deliver. Otherwise, at best they’ll
go to another institution. At worst, they’ll sue you. Somewhere in the
middle, your disciplinary actions may just be subject to challenge, but,
even in this situation, without a well written and defensible student
handbook in place your institution may find it difficult to defend its
student disciplinary decisions.
This new business environment colleges and universities find themselves in demands that the institution’s handbook be a carefully crafted document, designed to deal with the multitude of unpredictable, but inevitable, issues that arise within a community comprised of bright but mostly young clientele.
The student handbook is a crucial piece of the contractual relationship between the institution and its students. As such, it can be a trap that ensnares the institution in a costly legal net. Or it can be a shield, protecting the school and its trustees, officers and employees from lawsuits, as well as publicity debacles. It all depends upon how thoughtfully and effectively the document is crafted − how well the institution’s faculty and staff are trained to use it − and how thoroughly it is integrated into the campus culture. Please join Dr. James Ottavio Castagnera for a review of both the risks and protections which student handbooks are intended to provide and a review of the policies which your student handbook should include.
He is the author of 19 books, including the Handbook for Student Law for Higher Education Administrators (Peter Lang, 2010, revised edition 2014), which is available at Your text to link… and Al Qaeda Goes to College: Impact of the War on Terror on Higher Education (Praeger 2009).
His teaching experience includes continuing legal education courses, MOOCs on the Canvas Network − including “Risk Management in Higher Education: Student Issues” − and presentations at numerous national forums, including the Annual Conference of the National Center for the Study of Collective Bargaining in Higher Education and the Annual Homeland Defense and Security Higher Education Summit sponsored by the Naval Postgraduate School.
