| Abstract: | Recent case law suggests that it's unwise for college trustees to assume they are immune from personal liability. A directors' and officers' insurance policy can alleviate the adverse effects of a legal claim against an organization's resources, but its coverage is limited. Trustees must pay careful attention to the legal environment affecting their board service. (MSE) |
