46th Annual National Conference on Higher Education Law & Policy
The 2025 Compliance Reset: Navigating the New Landscape of Federal and State Regulatory Mandates
Welcome to Compliance U. version 2.0. Landmark changes in federal law and policy—including the Supreme Court’s Loper Bright and Corner Post cases—will alter higher education compliance requirements in potentially profound ways. What lies ahead is not deregulation but new and likely more complex regulatory dynamics. How will colleges work with the latest federal administration? Increasing management by federal courts? Ever increasing state law mandates?
Join us for the 46th Annual National Conference on Law & Higher Education on March 5 – 10, 2025, at the Wyndham Grand Resort in Clearwater Beach, FL to address these and many other pressing law and policy questions.
