    Note: The liability insurance policy purchased for you as part of your professional membership will not cover incidents that occur prior to your joining the association. Sort of how you can’t buy car insurance after the accident.

  • You will be protected against a broad range of exposures, including the following allegations (whether those allegations are true or false):

    -Injuries to students under your supervision

    -Failure to educate

    -Violation of students' civil rights

    -Hiring unqualified persons

    -Failure to promote students or grant credit

    -Improper methods of instruction

    -Each policy is an individual policy, which means there is no group aggregate. Defense costs are paid in addition to the liability limit.
