The goal of this book is to help the reader gain knowledge on ethical and legal issues in the field of student affairs and develop competency to follow the profession’s principles and standards of conduct. The significance of the book is due to its focus on the practical value of ethics and legal issues and its aim to address the knowledge, skills, and dispositions required of student affairs educators to develop and maintain integrity in their life and work as described by the ACPA/NASPA. The text offers readers a number of major unique features: It offers multiple ethical decision-making models to guide student affairs educators in their ethical decision-making process. It proposes that ethics is not an individual but an organizational responsibility. It offers that ethical decision making is a professional skill that can be practiced and applied in student affairs educators’ day-to-day practice. It presents the reader with the most current legal issues in student affairs and higher education. Finally, it reflects three themes: integration of ACPA/NASPA competency areas; development of professional identity; and application of knowledge and theory to practice. The book is critical and timely. A book that focuses on ethical and legal issues in student affairs is needed for faculty in preparation programs, new professionals navigating their identity as student affairs educators, and a resource for mid- and senior-level professionals facilitating ongoing professional development. The book begins to address what it means to have a professional identity, which is ground in the shared ethical and legal values espoused within the profession and academia. Each chapter uniquely contributes to the complexity embedded in the study of ethics and how that is applied to practice. Additionally, the volume is a balance of procedural knowledge, case illustrations, and guided practice exercises to facilitate the reader’s ability to translate the theory and research discussed into professional decision making and application.

The seven chapters in this monograph were written to provide the student affairs professional with one professional resource among the many that are necessary to understand the legal aspects of professional responsibility in this area. "Risk Management and Professional Responsibility" (Hilda F. Owens) identifies some elements of professional responsibility and stresses the importance of individual and institutional risk management plans. "The Student/Institutional Relationship: A Legal Update" (D. Parker Young) provides a legal update on matters relating to the student/institution relationship. "The Chief Student Affairs Officer as Employer and Manager: A Special Risk" (Patricia A. Hollander) brings an attorney's experience to the issues of importance to chief student affairs officers in their roles as employers and managers. "The Residential Campus: High-Risk Territory!" (John H. Schuh) discusses issues of special concern to practitioners on a residential campus and offers suggestions for managing those special risks. "Rights of Association, Expression, and Publication" (Daniel R. Walbolt) addresses the importance of recognizing and honoring those rights as programs and services are planned and rendered. "Risk Management in Campus Activities Programming" (Richard Bredemeier) treats the legal, political, and philosophical risks associated with risk management in campus activities programming. "To Risk or Not to Risk: That is the Question" (Edward H. Hammond) reminds the practitioner that there is no way to remove all risk from the education arena, summarizes some basic legal responsibilities, and discusses the development of a risk management plan.

Contested Issues in Troubled Times provides student affairs educators with frameworks to constructively think about and navigate the contentious climate they are increasingly encountering on campus.The 54 contributors address the book’s overarching question: How do we create an equitable climate conducive to learning in a dynamic environment fraught with complexity and a socio-political context characterized by escalating intolerance, incivility, and overt discrimination?Rather than attempting to offer readers definitive solutions, this book illustrates the possibilities and promise of acknowledging multiple approaches to addressing contentious issues, articulating a persuasive argument anchored in professional judgment, listening attentively to others for points of connection as well as divergence, and drawing upon new ways of thinking to foster safe and inclusive campuses.Among the issues this volume addresses are such topics as sexual violence; historically underrepresented racial and ethnic groups; transgender and undocumented students; the professional skills, knowledge and/or dispositions needed to thrive and facilitate systemic change in contemporary higher education organizations; the implications of maintaining personal and professional identities via social media; and self-care.In this companion volume to Contested Issues in Student Affairs (whose issues remain as relevant today as they were upon publication in 2011), a new set of contributors explore new questions which foreground issues of equity, safety, and civility – themes which dominate today’s higher education headlines and campus conversations.The book concludes with calls to action, encouraging student affairs educators to exhibit the moral courage needed to critically examine routine practices that (un)knowingly perpetuate inequity and enact the foundational values and principles upon which the student affairs profession was founded.
