Hastings  \nUniversity of North Carolina Wilmington  \nEzekiel Kimball  \nUniversity of Massachusetts Amherst  \nDanielle Slauzis  \nNorwich University  \nAbstract  \nUsing data from twenty-one interviews conducted with student affairs practitioners within a constructivist grounded theory study, we examined how legal issues influence the daily work of student affairs professionals. Findings demonstrate that concerns about legal issues may intrude on student-centered practice, which participants identified as a core value of the student affairs profession.

Grounded theorists typically utilize sensitizing constructs instead of standard literature reviews because the problems they seek to address are not well-documented by existing literature. Instead, sensitizing constructs allow grounded theorists to explore key concepts likely to shape their eventual findings without needing to identify literature that provides comprehensive coverage of their research problem since that literature likely does not exist.  \nCore Values and Commitments  \nA profession’s core values and commitments communicate a sense of purpose, integrity, and collective identity to both its members and the public (Evans & Reason, 2001) . A series of high-profile committee reports and promulgations of professional standards have consistently affirmed the centrality of holistic student development, respect for individual differences and student agency, and social justice to the professional identities of student affairs professionals (c.f., ACPA & NASPA, 2015; Evans & Reason, 2001) . A robust body of empirical literature (c.f., Gansemer-Topf & Ryder, 2017; Grabsch et al., 2019; Mayhew et al., 2016; Patton et al., 2016) provides guidance to student affairs professionals at all levels of practice seeking both to develop and to act in intentional wayson these core values and commitments.  \nNew student affairs professionals typically gain exposure to both these core values and the empirical literature base supporting their realization via graduate preparation programs (Hirschyet al., 2015; Perez, 2017) . Most graduate preparation programs closely align their curricula with the content areas stipulated by the Council for theAdvancement of Standards (CAS) (2015), which describe the academic experiences needed in a masters-level graduate preparation program as the foundation for future practice. Three CAS standards (i.e., student development theory; student characteristics and effects of college on students;  \nCreeping Legalism: How External Demands Reshape Student Affairs Practice 117  \nindividual and group interventions) address student-centered practice.  \nMore experienced student affairs professionals receive ongoing messaging about the field’score values and skills from professional associations and conferences (e.g., Gansemer-Topf & Ryder, 2017; Wilson et al., 2016). Mirroring the joint statement on professional competencies issued by leading student affairs organizations (ACPA & NASPA, 2015), these venues also reiterate the centrality of student-centered practice to the student affairs profession. Collectively, these ongoing socialization processes reinforce the belief that student affairs work comprises a distinct profession predicated on student-c","cbCaive055nh6afQ","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaive055nh6afQ","pdf",637703,15,"English","# Abstract\n## Core Values and Commitments\n## Legal Issues","[{\"question\":\"What research method is used to study legal issues in student affairs practice?\",\"answer\":\"The study uses a constructivist grounded theory approach based on twenty-one interviews with student affairs practitioners.\"},{\"question\":\"How do legal concerns affect student-centered practice?\",\"answer\":\"Participants report that concerns about legal issues may intrude on student-centered practice, even though student-centered practice is a core value of the profession.\"},{\"question\":\"What does the paper recommend for handling the tension between student-centered practice and legal issues?\",\"answer\":\"It concludes by offering recommendations for navigating the tension between student-centered practice and legal issues in daily professional work.\"}]","Creeping Legalism - How External Demands Reshape Student Affairs Practice | PDF",1792088543,38]
