    • Advising management on compliance with federal, state and local laws including Title IV Financial Aid laws and regulations, Title IX, FERPA, the Clery Act, the Americans with Disabilities Act and similar laws and regulations, as well as local laws and regulations on a range of matters from various licenses and permits to environmental compliance.

    • Liaison with Trinity's liability insurance carrier United Educators and other carriers;
    • Ability to advise the Board and President on governance issues and other matters related to the general management of risks in the conduct of university business.
