The Q-List:  A Faculty Fellows Research Agenda for the Profession

Social Justice

Student affairs educators have long taken the lead with diversity, cultural pluralism, and social justice efforts on college campuses. As student populations continue to increase in terms of diversity (e.g., race, sexual orientation, economic class) and empowerment (e.g., equal access to campus services, marriage rights, economic justice), student affairs educators will continue to adjust and further develop as a professional field. 

1. How are national civil rights movements (e.g., GLBT marriage equality) influencing equality and equity regarding on campus student affairs practice?
2. How can student affairs affect institutional change regarding social justice?
3. What populations exist on college campuses that are not the focus of student affairs educators?
4. How do student affairs professionals' varying perspectives on diversity influence student affairs services, programs, policy, and environmental management?
5. How does student affairs maximize the educational attainment of all students?
6. What is student affairs educators' role in increasing access to all students across a range of institutional types?
