Chronicle of Higher Education – Higher Ed’s New Legal Landscape

Steptoe and Johnson’s Peter Lake is speaking on Higher Education’s New Legal Landscape at 11 am EST, April 23, 2025. Join Ian Wilhelm, a Chronicle deputy managing editor, and legal professionals to help you understand the landscape and how it’s shifting rapidly.

The discussion, meant for faculty and administrators who aren’t immersed in compliance or the work of the campus general counsel, will provide:

• How Title VI, the federal law that ensures equal access to education regardless of a person’s race, color, or national origin, and Title IX, the federal law that prohibits sex-based discrimination in education programs, are changing and what that may mean for campus compliance
• A primer on the various federal orders and what legal weight they hold
• A look at the court cases that the higher-ed community should be keeping an eye on

In addition to joining the session, registrants will be able to ask questions prior to the webinar, receive Chronicle materials related to the topics, and get access to a special follow-up Q&A.
