January 15-16, 2025

Touro University • 3 Times Square • New York, NY 10036

Symposium co-sponsored by Touro University, Touro Law Center, and Touro Law Review.

Touro University, Touro Law Center, and the Touro Law Review are excited to announce its symposium Academics, Lawyers, and Government: Who is Leading Higher Education in the 21st Century on January 15 and 16, 2025. This symposium will explore the rapidly evolving landscape of higher education, which traditionally has been guided by the academic community but now faces unprecedented legal, regulatory, and organizational challenges. Distinguished panels of scholars, policymakers, and industry experts will engage in a scholarly discussion of why these changes are occurring and what the future may hold, and the potential impacts on higher education institutions, students, and society.

This symposium is not just about discussing the challenges but also about finding solutions. It aims to foster meaningful dialogue and potential solutions to navigate this complex and evolving environment, providing practical value to those involved in the field.

This symposium is inspired by two recent books: All the Campus Lawyers: Litigation, Regulation and the New Era of Higher Education by Louis H. Guard and Joyce P. Jacobsen (2024) and May It Please the Campus: Lawyers Leading Higher Education by Patricia E. Salkin (2022). Given these recent developments, we expect the symposium to generate significant interest among in-house general counsels, college and university senior administrators, practitioners, and law professors.

Additional information will be posted soon. If you have questions, please email events@tourolaw.edu or call (631) 761-7066.
