As colleges and universities plan for the vast array of
legal and operational issues they will face upon a physical return to campus in
the coming weeks, student conduct related to coronavirus precautions is top of
mind for many campus counsel. Together with their student affairs
colleagues and others, counsel must consider how to best formulate a framework
for a student conduct code that will address myriad coronavirus-related safety
measures. These include requirements around social distancing, quarantining and
isolation, as well as testing and tracing. They must also contend with campus
communities that comprise students living in dorms on campus as well as
students living off-campus, and some institutions have large commuter
populations to consider. Set against the backdrop of the changing public health
landscape, counsel must advise on how to communicate these new rules to the
campus community in a way that will ensure compliance and success, and advise
on the enforcement mechanisms the institution will employ. Please join us for a
NACUA Briefing with Allen Groves, University Dean of Students at the University
of Virginia, and Michael Grabo, Associate Counsel at Brown University, who will
guide us through these challenging issues.
This 30-minute Briefing will be audio-only and complimentary
to NACUA members.
