Todays college and university housing professionals face a wide array of legal concerns, includingfederal and state statutory and regulatory compliance issues and countless questions of how to best balance and/or mitigate risks. ACUHO-I'sLegal Issues in Student Housingonline courseprovides an overview of many of the top legal issues faced by college and university housing professionals in a manner that avoids overly academic and/or legal language and that instead draws heavily from a range of real world situations.

This course will introduce participants to basic legal principles that apply to campus housing contracts, Constitutional rights, privacy, civil torts, and risk management. This includes exploring relevant statutes, cases, and guidance and providing an overview of relevant issues including:
Mental health and Title II
FERPA/HIPAA and privacy laws
Freedom of information
Free speech
Threat assessment
Disability law
Fair Housing Act
Gender identity
Contracts
Nearly every campus that provides housing to undergraduate students engages paraprofessional staff to provide critical support and visibility in support of professional staff. Tapping into the skills and talents of RAs allows the university to provide resources, peer mentorship, and a sense of belonging that many undergraduates need as they grow and develop through their college years.
This course will provide tools for individuals supervising RAs to help them make the most of this important partnership. Participants will explore different supervision styles, workplace and human development theory, competencies for effective supervisors, and more, and will ultimately document their own personal supervision philosophy and its application to their work with RAs.
Supervising full-time staff is both rewarding and challenging. It requires a balance of caring, advocating, leading groups, providing context, living with difficult and often unpopular decisions, and holding staff accountable to expectations.
