Overview
United Educators provides liability insurance and risk-management services to K-12 schools and universities. It operates as a member-owned reciprocal risk-retention group, with each member designating UE as attorney-in-fact to pool and exchange risks and potentially receive allocations of net income; it also offers tailored coverages and education-focused risk resources. Unlike many insurers, UE is owned by about 1,600 member institutions and has maintained an AM Best A (Excellent) rating since 1998, plus crisis and risk-management support like ProResponse. Its goal is to help educational institutions manage liability risk effectively while giving members ownership benefits and access to specialized risk services.
