Faculty Involvement in Student Affairs

Abstract

Higher education is experiencing tremendous pressure from constituents to justify activities and the quality of its product (student outcomes). This increased level of accountability makes it a necessity that collaborative relationships exist between academic and student affairs to improve the quality of undergraduate education. One way in which this collaboration may occur is through faculty involvement in student affairs governance activities. This study focused on the perceptions of Senior Student Affairs Officers (SSAO) regarding faculty involvement in institutional and student affairs governance.
