Lessons from Virginia Tech: The Changing Landscape in Higher Education
|
| Dates: |
1/18-08 - 2/15/08 |
| Cost: |
$130 |
| Instructor: |
W. Scott Lewis, JD - Asst. Vice Provost, University of South Carolina
|
Abstract:
As we approach the one year anniversary of the tragedy at Virginia Tech, the Governor's Report, the President's Report and pending litigation are already impacting the way college administrators and faculty do their everyday work. With proposed legislation and examination in several states returning to the forefront on issues such as weapons on campus, FERPA, HIPPA, other confidentiality issues, mental (and physical) health services, student conduct and housing response and capabilities and inter- (and perhaps intra-) campus communication, it is imperative that student affairs and faculty administrators anticipate the changes in the landscape in order to help shape them. Class participants will examine these issues using topical journal and news articles, on-line discussion, and case law analysis.
This 3 week class will run over the course of one full month, to accommodate the 2008 ASJA conference. For those able to attend, the course will include an in person meeting at the ASJA Annual Conference for additional cumulative discussion.

Crafting a Code of Conduct: The Art of Writing Policies and Procedures
|
| Dates: |
4/7/08 - 4/25/08 |
| Cost: |
$130 |
| Instructor: |
Brett A. Sokolow, J.D., President, The National Center for Higher Education Risk Management
|
Abstract:
Traditional conduct codes are formal legal documents outlining policies and procedures. The nature of Millennial generation students gives us a unique opportunity to connect institutional values to a developmental, educational conduct code, instilling codes with humanity and a strong sense of community. But, to do so, we must rethink the conduct code as it currently exists, and re-imagine policies as tools of prevention.

So what's next? Finding the best path for my journey, and helping those you supervise move down the path

Abstract:
So you've been working in Student Affairs for a number of years and are starting to ask yourself the question: "What's next?" Or maybe you're just beginning your professional journey, and want to think about how you can make the most of the position you're in. More than likely you are supervising staff in transition. If any of these issues apply, this course is for you. We will use our professional competencies as a starting place for the course and build from there to think about our goals. The facilitators will help you think about how many skills that you have acquired (or hope to acquire) and how you can parlay them into your next professional position. From there, we will examine how to turn our big dreams into reality, determining clear steps one can take towards reaching our goals while avoiding or breaking through the barriers that stand in our way. This is a great session for those who are thinking about their careers, thinking about a career transition, or those who supervise staff who may be in transition.
