CNA Expands Its Education Appetite with Product Enhancements to Its Colleges/Universities Program

CNA recently announced the expansion of its Education appetite and several product enhancements to its Colleges and Universities program. Effective January 1, 2010, the global business insurer’s appetite now includes for-profit private schools, universities and community colleges with an enrollment of 10,000 students or less. This expansion comes six months after CNA’s announcement of its plans to grow in the Education industry by adding private colleges and universities to its Middle Market focus classes. CNA will also consider coverage options for trade and technical schools on a case-by-case basis.

This appetite expansion makes available the following coverages to this group: Management, Employment Practice and Educators’ Liability; Abuse and Molestation; Cyber Liability with NetProtect 360^sm; and Foreign Study with CNA Passport^®.

In addition, CNA’s Colleges and Universities program offers new coverages to accommodate U.S. schools with students and faculty traveling, living or working in foreign locations. Travel Accident, a form of Accidental Death and Dismemberment coverage, includes coverage for school staff and students while they are working or studying overseas. Kidnap & Ransom includes coverage for expenses associated with a kidnapping incident.
