states where marijuana is legal for recreational
use. awareness of pending legal changes requires adroit implementation of training and
workshops to keep residence life professionals
up-to-date with policies designed to protect the
health and safety of students.
With an increasing number of states passing
legislation permitting concealed weapons on
campus, Ward, nguyen and nguyen's study
provides a framework for a residence life director's understanding of the potential challenges
of managing concealed carry in residence halls.
Ward et al. utilize Weick, sutcliffe, and obstfeld's (2005) sensemaking process to analyze
how five different residence life directors
working in colleges in states permitting concealed carry laws have utilized the perspectives
of supporters and critics of concealed carry in
order to craft policy that will prepare student
life personnel to navigate implementing policy
on this controversial topic.
each of the above articles highlight the
complexity of legal compliance and the value
of resident life professionals having adequate
training and understanding of a wide spectrum of applicable laws in their daily professional lives. nguyen, Collier, Watts, Cartwright,
and King-Kostelac offer a phenomenological
exploration of this issue via a legal consciousness framework, in order to offer a greater understanding of how this complex navigation
of law may be experienced on a daily basis.
a general discussion is provided by nguyen
et al. on common legal issues faced by residence life professionals, including student
health and safety, title iX, family education
rights and privacy act (ferpa), search and
seizure, the Clery act, and student death. each

12

of these issues is addressed in a phenomenological case study analysis of the experiences of
25 residence life professionals. Based on interviews with these individuals, common themes
regarding the importance of purposeful and recurrent law training and in-depth professional
development via on-site seminars or conferences emerged as key factors for these professionals to develop robust legal consciousness.
College and university residence life and
housing are two areas in higher education
and student affairs that experience the most
intersections of law and policy with practice
and compliance. While this special issue is not
an exhaustive culmination of legal issues that
residence life professionals encounter in their
practice, it is a combination of traditional and
contemporary issues that professionals should
understand and add to their knowledge base.
When thinking of legal issues in higher education, it is always critical to understand that
legal compliance is a minimum bar and that
professionals may and should go above and
beyond compliance to achieve student success.
We are most grateful to the following people
from the university of texas at san antonio for
their editorial assistance on this special Journal
issue: amelia King-Kostelac, doctoral student
and doctoral fellow; alyse gray parker, doctoral
student; and ysenia ochoa, doctoral student.
