In an era when protests are increasingly finding their way onto college campuses across the US, Robb Jones of United Educators Insurance [UE] is taking charge by advising public universities to re-examine how they are responding to political and cultural tensions. Jones first joined UE in 1997; he now heads a team of 26 lawyers and 29 other professionals responsible for liability claims management for nearly 1,300 colleges, universities and K-12 schools.
Jones has more than 35 years of experience serving the education community and regularly speaks on topics related to the industry. He currently serves as a trustee for a liberal arts college and is a member of the National Association of College and University Attorneys and an advisor to the American Law Institute’s project on sexual and gender-based misconduct on campuses. Prior to UE, Jones developed and managed training and continuing legal education programs for the federal courts as the director of the judicial education division of the Federal Judicial Center and served as chief of staff to former Chief Justice Rehnquist at the US Supreme Court.
