Navigating The Mandates Of The Trump Administration: Hot Topics For Independent Schools

March 6, 2025 - 12:00 - 1:30 PM Eastern - Online Via Zoom

In this lively and interactive webinar, SHPC attorneys Sarah Fay and Phillipa Lilienthal will facilitate a discussion about best practices for the rapidly-evolving legal landscape.

We will delve into the unique challenges that independent schools are facing in response to Executive Orders and federal agency actions, and offer practical advice for how to anticipate, prepare, and successfully respond to the new mandates.

Topics Will Include:

• Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion: How to understand and respond to the legal risks related to DEI policies, programs, and initiatives, with a focus on managing organizational compliance and navigating political pressures while maintaining alignment with your school’s mission and values.

• ICE, Immigration Policies, and Travel: Understanding the shift in immigration enforcement under the Trump administration, its impact on the workplace, hiring practices and the potential impact on student and faculty travel and school trips.

• Gender Identity: Understanding how the new administration’s executive orders have revised the definition of gender identity, its enforcement goals in this area, and what it means for independent schools.

• Federal Funding: A comprehensive look at the implications of all the above for organizations that accept federal funding, including suggestions for a federal financial assistance audit, as well as an examination of the risks to an organization’s tax-exempt status.
