Background & Context
3 stories
2.1
Three fiduciary duties that nonprofit boards routinely confuse.
Board members owe duties of care (informed decision-making), loyalty (no self-dealing), and obedience (consistent with the mission). The duties are distinct: a member can satisfy care while violating loyalty, or vice versa. Most board mistakes involve loyalty (related-party transactions without disclosure).
Why It Matters
State attorneys general can pursue board members personally for breaches; D&O insurance typically covers care violations but excludes intentional loyalty breaches. Confusing the duties leaves members exposed without realizing it.
2.2
What a Title IX coordinator actually has to do.
The coordinator role is not honorary — federal regulations require the coordinator to coordinate the institution's compliance efforts, monitor outcomes, identify patterns, and ensure that grievance procedures are followed. Naming someone without giving them authority or time is a finding waiting to happen.
Why It Matters
OCR investigations frequently cite "coordinator in name only" as systemic non-compliance, escalating individual incidents into institution-wide enforcement. The coordinator function is a litigation fingerprint.
2.3
E-Rate Category One and Category Two have different rules.
Category One (telecommunications and internet access) has higher discount rates and is essentially uncapped; Category Two (internal connections, managed services) has a five-year per-student budget cap. Mixing the categories on a single application typically delays funding by a full cycle.
Why It Matters
Schools that misclassify equipment requests get bumped to the wrong queue and miss the funding-year window. The discount can be 20-90% depending on poverty rate, so the stakes are substantial.
