♦ Legal and Ethical Issues ♦
Graduates should possess a broad understanding of the legal foundations and constraints
which affect College Student Affairs practice. Specifically, students should possess:
- an understanding of the federal and state regulatory environments in which institutions of higher education operate;
- an understanding of the major constitutional issues involved in college student affairs administration;
- an understanding of the basic liability and contractual issues involved in college student affairs practice.
Legal and ethical standards provide a framework for policy, procedures, and challenges in higher education. I am thankful for my increased knowledge, understanding, and references related to these important components of my career.
- This annotated webliography of national, state and local resources for legal issues in higher education directs me to critical information that informs and directs my actions.
