Higher Education

Colleges and universities operate under intense regulatory and accreditation pressures. At Sligo Law Group, our Higher Education Law practice helps institutions navigate the Higher Education Act (HEA), Title IV student aid programs, accreditation standards, and federal oversight processes.

We advise on issues including financial aid program integrity, Clery Act and campus safety compliance, student conduct matters, disability accommodations under Section 504 and the ADA, Title IX investigations, student privacy under FERPA, and foreign gift reporting. Our attorneys also guide institutions through accreditation site visits, NACIQI proceedings, and Department of Education program reviews.

Our team brings insider perspective from decades at the U.S. Department of Education, enabling us to anticipate agency priorities and provide practical solutions. We support institutions in responding to findings, appealing adverse determinations, resolving investigations, and developing sustainable compliance systems. Whether your institution needs proactive compliance strategies, representation in enforcement actions, or support in policy development, Sligo Law Group delivers tailored legal counsel to safeguard your programs and reputation.
