Regulatory & Legislative Updates for Higher Ed Risk Managers

Regulatory & Legislative Actions Affecting Higher Ed

Changes that impact risk management and insurance practices in higher ed are happening fast in the regulatory environment. URMIA is here to help! The association has reinstated a Government Relations Advisory Committee (GRAC) Task Force for the benefit of the membership. This specialized group focuses on monitoring and advising the URMIA community regarding these regulatory/legislative actions that are likely to impact you as risk managers by synthesizing information for URMIA members. If you would like to be a member of the task force or have a topic for a future update, contact the URMIA Office.
