Decision Making in Student Affairs

Discuss how universities achieve cross-campus coalitions or partnerships between academic faculty and/or administration and student development professionals. Incorporate at least three examples of peer-reviewed literature, and incorporate at least one practical applied example into the paper along with the research-based articles.
Discuss how universities have engaged in successful partnerships between academic units and student affairs units in at least two of the following areas:
The formation of partnerships with faculty in support of what are now called “learning – living environments.”
The establishment of conversations with teaching faculty that resulted in model community “service learning” projects consistent with the mission of the college or university.
Student development alliances and programmatic development with teaching faculty that address problems related to poor class attendance, personal or behavioral problems that impair academic performance, and the tendency to view “the classroom as the classroom” and everything outside of class as “everything else.”
Create a responsive program development strategy based on what others have done.
What did people learn from these success stories? What guiding principles have researchers come to believe are critical if the alleged “chasm” between academics and student life is to be bridged?
