In addition to myriad pandemic-related issues that colleges
and universities are tackling on campus, institutions are also wrestling with
complex and tricky issues with staff overseas. Many employees and
researchers may be “stuck” abroad, working remotely for the time being. Others
are part of an international operation that is suspended or permanently
closed. Still others are essential personnel working in public health positions
across the globe. Institutions are faced with difficult decisions and a
complicated array of varying laws and policies when determining whether and how
to structure foreign telework or manage a reduction in force. How can we
implement furloughs or terminate overseas employees and also mitigate risk?
How can we ensure employee safety abroad? Please join us for a
NACUA Briefing with Bill Ferreira, Partner in the International Education
practice at Hogan Lovells, and Lisa Rae, Senior Vice President & General Counsel
at World Learning, who will walk through these and other major issues to
consider in this time of great uncertainty.
This 30-minute briefing will be audio-only and will be
complimentary to NACUA members.
