Morning Sessions
Going Beyond Regulatory Compliance Towards Sustainability -
10:15 a.m. - 11:45 a.m.
Higher Education has been hammered by regulatory agencies that are
creating new regulations and enforcing existing regulations as never
before. What is the role the risk manager plays in helping his or
her institution to manage these risks? How can the Risk Manager
enlist other departments in compliance efforts? This presentation
will suggest specific ways to address the immediate risks of non-compliance
of a number of regulatory issues, including the EPA, OSHA, HIPAA,
FERPA, and USA PATRIOT ACT. Examples including the EPA Initiative
and other voluntary programs will be used to examine the “greening”
process - going beyond compliance towards sustainability.
