This resounding defence of the principles of free expression revisits the 'Satanic Verses' uproar of 1989, as well as subsequent incidents such as the Danish cartoons controversy, to argue that the human right of free speech is by no means so secure that it can be taken for granted.

Styled as a complete update to Miller & Winston's 1991 book, Administration and Leadership in Student Affairs, this book addresses issues of critical importance to today's student affairs professional. Grounded in human development, learning, leadership, group dynamics, management theories, and current social science research and evaluation methods, this book articulates the means for college student affairs administrators to function in the forefront of student learning and personal development initiatives.
The book focuses on the three essential roles played by student affairs administrators: as educators who play a significant role in addressing the academic goals of their institutions, as leaders who help to shape the vision of their institution's student affairs practice and education mission, and as managers who are responsible for coordinating programs and services, supervising staff, and overseeing university facilities and budgets. In their treatment of the diverse roles student affairs professionals must play in the current academic environment, the editors give voice to their view that they have an educational mission that is best accomplished through a partnership between student affairs and academic affairs which focuses on the individual student. The book is organised into five parts, each focusing on both the management of college environments and the administrative processes which effect student learning. In addition, it addresses such cutting-edge concerns as:
* student affairs in a multicultural world
* advancing technology and student affairs practice
* legal and ethical issues in student affairs.
The Professional Student Affairs Administrator is a comprehensive textbook for Masters and doctoral level students in college student affairs administration preparation courses, as well as a valuable reference guide for both beginning and seasoned professionals alike.

This handbook explains the rationale behind supervised practice, and addresses design, supervision, and ethical components that are relevant to both faculty teaching supervised practice courses and supervisors overseeing students on-site.

Until now, professional literature in higher education and student affairs failed to address the issue of supervision in a comprehensive and systematic manner. By building on the staffing model developed by Roger B. Winston and Don G. Creamer, Supervising New Professionals in Student Affairs provides readers with a thorough review of the theory, processes, and skills necessary to be an effective supervisor. Six scholar-practitioners present approaches and strategies to aptly guide personnel within the context of personal and professional development and institutional goals and priorities. Special attention is given to supervisory practices with new professionals and interns in the field. This text covers all aspects of effective supervision of student affairs personnel, which is critical to meeting the needs of higher education institutions and essential to professional enrichment.
