The purpose of this book is to provide student affairs
professionals who work at Catholic colleges and universities a tool
for reflection and dialogue on difficult issues they face on their
campuses. It is intended to be used in staff development sessions,
in training sessions with student leaders and resident assistants,
and in master's level student affairs preparation programs at
Catholic colleges and universities. This book is the next step in a
series of projects that began in the early 1990s after the
publication by the Vatican of the apostolic constitution Ex Corde
Ecclesiae. This book is a collection of case studies that focus on
particular issues related to Catholic identity that are faced by
student affairs professionals who work at Catholic colleges and
universities. By its very nature, the focus on the difficult issues
we face is a limitation. The editors in no way wish to imply that
Catholic identity is only about problems. Previous research and
experience clearly indicates those who work at Catholic
institutions understand and embrace the opportunities that this
environment provides for them. But as Schaller and Boyle (2006)
indicated, there is a need for dialogue around the difficult issues
that we face. The editors believe that a book of case studies is
particularly helpful because it allows a staff to discuss problems
at fictionalized universities and then ask themselves, "What would
we do here?" The editors solicited cases using a mailing list
provided by the Association for Student Affairs at Catholic
Colleges and Universities (ASACCU); thus, the cases included in
this book represent the real concerns of those practicing in the
field. Some of the cases that are included are true stories of
situations that actually happened, some are fictional, and some are
hybrid stories based on actual events but changed to illustrate an
issue. To protect the privacy of those who were kind enough to
share their difficult issues with their colleagues, the names of
case contributors are listed at the beginning of the book in
alphabetical order, rather than being listed with the cases they
contributed.
