Law, Policy, and Governance
The competency of Law, Policy, and Governance focuses on policy construction, allowing the professional to navigate legal processes while understanding the impact had on students. Through the foundational outcomes of "explain concepts of risk management, reasonable accommodation, and enact liability strategies" (ACPA & NASPA 2015, p. 22) and "describe the student conduct process at the institutional level and demonstrate concern for the legal, social, moral, educational, and ethical expectations of the community" (ACPA & NASPA 2015, p. 22), I have been able to develop as a professional. Through the following two activities, I have been able to understand specific legal processes and how to best implement them in order to best serve my students. The activites are as follows:
Event Audit meetings with student organizations to discuss events that organization wishes to put on, including talking about any risk management issues and how to counteract and prepare for any issues
Participation on the University Conduct Committee (UCC) which allows me to assist in the education of undergraduate students through the formal conduct process
