Special Reports on Risks and Losses

2023 Top Risks Reports

Each year, United Educators (UE) members share their view of the pressing risks in the Top Risk Survey. This year’s survey results reveal the self-reported top risks across our membership and changes over the past few years. Members also commented on the impact of employee retention and hiring on their ability to manage risk. Use these UE member exclusive reports — broken out by higher education and independent K-12 schools — to compare your institution’s risks against similar UE members.

The trends indicate that social inflation — the increase in insurer costs above what’s expected from general economic inflation — has had a significant impact on educational institutions. Read more about these scenarios and consider actions your institution can take to close gaps in your risk management.
