Getting an A in Insurance: Analyzing Antitrust, Admissions, Athletics, and other D&O Issues in Higher Education

Is this the busiest era in history for Directors & Officers (D&O) liability in higher education? This timely panel will explore the evolving landscape of current and emerging exposures facing colleges and universities. Topics include sharing financial aid information of prospective students, agreements not to compete on admission and financial aid offers, and the management of race considerations in admissions, particularly in light of recent actions by the current administration. The discussion will also examine the future of EPL insurance in scenarios where student-athletes may be classified as employees. Insurance coverage implications for these complex issues will also be addressed.

This session is essential for underwriters, brokers, and claims professionals seeking to understand key litigation risks, the potential for regulatory review, and likely paths toward resolution. Beyond risk management, the conversation highlights the critical role higher education plays in driving the American economy, global competitiveness, and upward mobility.

Attendees will leave with a deeper understanding of:
• The present and future litigation risks for board members and university officers
• How the current administration’s influence and priorities are shaping these issues
• Ways underwriters and brokers can address policy terms and significant exposures in this environment
