"A lot of colleges and universities have been looking for some way to hold their licensees to a certain standard...and the FLA provides a way to do that," he said.
Michael H. Posner, the executive director of the Lawyers Committee for Human Rights, one of the non-governmental organizations instrumental in the formation of the FLA, said the association will make several institutional changes in response to the inclusion of colleges and universities.
The FLA will add a college and university representative to its board, a full time college and university staff position and will create an advisory council with members from each affiliated school, Posner said.
