What is the basis for United Educator's concern about alcohol abuse in schools, colleges, and universities?

Based on their myriad conversations with campus risk managers and administrators, United Educators knows that high-risk alcohol use and abuse is a top concern of their member institutions. A study of UE’s student claims submitted between 2004 and 2008 revealed that the average cost associated with a claim involving alcohol was 25% higher than the cost of a claim that did not. The injuries sustained by students were serious—half of the claims involved an assault (mostly sexual assaults) and more than 80% of the dollars were spent on claims involving medical and mental health issues and slips and falls, typically from a window, balcony, or rooftop.

What does this mean for United Educator members?

UE members will receive a 15% discount off the cost of the AlcoholEdu for either K12 schools or higher education. Also, an institution’s implementation of AlcoholEdu is now a qualifying activity for UE’s Risk Management Premium Credit.
