The number and scope of federal and state mandates imposed upon educational institutions continues to grow.  Along with these mandates have come new and more serious consequences for those educational institutions that do not comply.  Today, these institutions must have sound counsel to advise them on what is required to comply with the complexities of federal and state laws and mandates.
