2) A New Service — Briefings with Brett

Our weekly E-zine, The NCHERM Chronicle of Campus Conduct, is popular, but many of our clients report that they are inundated with too much to read already. Believe me, I know the feeling. If you’re too busy to stay current, Briefings with Brett is for you. This is a subscription to 12 monthly one-hour conference calls. For one year, you can join a conference call with Brett and other guest experts, including Saunie Schuster, Alan Berkowitz, John Wesley Lowery, Linda Sharp and others. Each month, we will pick a topic of current interest, and spend an hour discussing it, and taking questions from you. Can’t make the call? We’ll provide you with a taped copy. For example, our August 2005 call will update you on the new Clery Act Reporting Handbook published by the Department of Education this month. Our September call will examine the recent summary judgment decision in Shin v. MIT, and its implications for how we address suicide, threats and ideation on campus. A one-year subscription to Briefings with Brett is a mere $100 per month. Look for details at www.ncherm.org soon.
