No Smoking Guns Here

liberative approach directors incorporated into
making policy for senior staff, residence directors, student staff, and students.
how this decision directly influences
people shaped participants' implementation
plans. participants discussed in detail who
they thought these decisions might affect. in
particular, directors were sensitive to the ways
in which living communities would perceive
campus-concealed carry laws. for this reason,
participants discussed needing to immerse
one's self in the policy creation process.
finally, directors of residence life discussed
following how other institutions navigated the
implementation process. By focusing on how
other directors executed an implementation
plan, the participants were able to model the
successful components of the process while
adjusting for challenging moments. those
who made sense of their implementation
through this approach perceived their process
to be most successful.
the findings highlight the important role
that sensemaking plays in preparing directors
of residence life to engage the role of policy
actor. While many participants operationalized
practices that fostered successful policy enactments, directors did not feel fully equipped to
make these decisions. With this opportunity
for growth in mind, two practical suggestions
can enhance sensemaking capacity. first, directors of residence life should be working
in consultation with dean of students or vice
president of student affairs professionals in
crafting these specific policies. While they may
have been involved in the process, directors did
not mention executive level student affairs administration engagement in the policy enact-

ment process. By involving these other vested
parties, directors can feel less pressure for
developing all aspects of the implementation
process. second, more opportunities for crafting campus policies could be a useful approach
for helping directors of residence life develop
sensemaking capacity. Crafting and executing
small-scale policies may provide residence life
professionals with the opportunity to enhance
their understanding of this process.
