David Sullivan serves in this role and will outline what the mechanism does, how it is being improved in line with international developments and US policy commitments, and where it fits within the landscape of remedy for corporate human right violations. About Our GuestDavid Sullivan was named the U.S. National Contact Point (NCP) for the OECD Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises (on Responsible Business Conduct), and Senior Adviser on Corporate Social Responsibility in November 2021. In this capacity he promotes business conduct that is not only commercially viable, but also conducted in a manner consistent with high standards related to labor, the environment, human rights, and other sustainability factors. The role of the NCP is to promote awareness of the OECD Guidelines, to facilitate their practical application, and to seek to resolve, through mediation or conciliation, disputes or "specific instances" regarding an enterprise's conduct. Previously, David was a senior State Department attorney. He joined the Department's Office of the Legal Adviser in 1998, and since then served as an Attorney-Adviser in offices for international claims, law enforcement, the Western Hemisphere, employment and ethics, human rights, and economic and business affairs. He also served as the senior legal adviser to the U.S. Mission to the UN in Geneva. David's prior legal work has been with the Department of the Treasury, White & Case, and the Alaska Supreme Court. He has also served as a Peace Corps Volunteer in Eswatini and worked for IBM. David has a law degree from Yale Law School, a master's degree from the Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy, and a bachelor's degree from Yale College. He is from Cleveland, Ohio.This workshop is sponsored by the Business & Human Rights Initiative (https://humanrights.uconn.edu/areas-of-focus/business/), part of the Gladstein Family Human Rights Institute's Dodd Human Rights Impact Programs.

- 4:00 PM1hInsurers as Contract InfluencersContract boilerplate degrading consumers' litigation options–terms mandating arbitration, exculpating liability, requiring individualized litigation and shifting risk–has proliferated in the last generation. We investigate how insurers influence boilerplate's adoption and content. Interviewing participants in the liability insurance industry, we show that insurers refine boilerplate language, teach policyholders about its efficacy, and decline coverage when it is absent. At the same time, they rarely offer price breaks for adopting boilerplate, suggesting that at least some of the cost savings from consumer boilerplate may end up in the coffers of insurance firms rather than their clients. Insurers are surprisingly skeptical about the value of terms that have particularly excited proceduralists and consumer contract scholars—arbitration and liability waiver clauses—and believe their spread does not materially affect the risks that they insure. Recommended Reading: Hoffman, David A. and Swedloff, Rick, Insurers as Contract Influencers (July 29, 2024).
- 4:00 PM1h 30mBLOOM: Undergraduate Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC)BLOOM: Undergraduate Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) This group is a space created for female Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) - identifying students to cultivate vulnerability, safety, trust, connection, and growth. Bloom provides a place for group members to discuss issues unique to their experience at a predominantly white institution (PWI), including academic stress, relationships, race/ethnicity related stress, familial pressures and navigating cultural expectations. There will be an emphasis on healing, maintaining healthy relationships and setting boundaries. Bloom means to be open, blossom and to maintain flourishing conditions that help us grow. It's time to Bloom.To join this group therapy session, please call SHaW at 860-486-4700 (tel:+18604864705) This session is held by Chantaul Smith, LMFT (https://studenthealth.uconn.edu/person/chantaul-smith/) For many concerns that students face – like overwhelming stress, anxiety, difficult relationships, depression, academic difficulties, and more – group therapy is the best option for support and healing.
