    Product Description

    Get the latest updates on the issues you encounter daily on campus—delivered in a dynamic, streamlined format by a stellar faculty of preeminent practitioners in each practice area.

    First, hear an overview of recent developments and emerging employment litigation trends in higher education, including significant case law developments, EEOC and state agency enforcement priorities and initiatives, and analysis of important new Massachusetts leave laws—sick leave, parental leave, and domestic violence leave.

    Then learn how non-profit educational institutions planning new construction or expansion of existing facilities may benefit from the qualified exemption from local zoning bylaws or ordinances provided by the provision of the Massachusetts General Laws commonly known as the Dover Amendment. Explore the substantive limits of, and procedural mechanism for, seeking this protection.

    The Conference then delves into the IP issues that crop up everywhere in higher education— from MOOCs to industry-sponsored research and from technology transfer to fair use, hear the latest on what college and university counsel need to know.

    And finally, participate in a cutting-edge conversation with experts about the latest issues in college discipline. Since 2012, advisory statements and regulations issued by the Office of Civil Rights of the Department of Education pursuant to Title IX have had a dramatic effect on the procedures and scope of college disciplinary proceedings. This keynote panel provides a brief history of the evolution of disciplinary processes and then segues into a discussion from the point of view of the individual participants and the institution of the issues that arise in navigating this complicated process.

    Get strategic perspective that only experience—and informed discussion with the experts and your colleagues in a small, highly-focused, fast-paced conversational setting—can provide. Your time is valuable; let MCLE's distinguished panelists quickly bring you up to speed on the latest developments essential to your college and university practice as the campus problem-solver!
