Solid Resources in Unsteady Times
By Ada
Meloy
In the winter 2009 Legal Watch column, I highlighted some of the
challenges that institutions of higher learning could expect to face in
the coming year. Increased regulation, reduced budgets and endowments,
and the overall need to "accomplish more with less" were all areas of
concern. In the first quarter of 2009, campuses across the country have
been forced to make difficult choices, including layoffs, furloughs, and
pay freezes, in an effort to cope with constricting budgets. In addition
to being emotionally charged, these decisions involve important legal
issues and risks. Attorneys should be informed and involved before these
decisions are made in order to flag potential areas of concern. . .
