To do:
1. Expansion of history: need deans of women and the large movements in the profession including historical and political context
2. Expansion of each "area"
3. Expansion of the listing of professional organizations
4. Explanation of outsourcing and auxiliary services with examples
5. Is there anywhere a high-level description of the typical organization of American universities (academic affairs, student affairs, administrative affairs, etc.)?
[edit] Professional Organization list in External Links
I noticed that the professional organization external links list was removed. I realize that Wikipedia is not a directory of links, but these are organizations that are part of what it means to be a Student Affairs practitioner. I feel like the list should be re-added to the article. Thoughts? Eric Stoller 22:01, 5 June 2007 (UTC)
- Sorry Eric but a list of external links seems to be the very definition of a "directory of links." If one were to write an article for each of those organizations (a laudable and attainable goal), links to them either directly or via a "Student Affairs" category or some similar manner would be entirely appropriate. I'd be okay with one link to an external site that listed Student Affairs professional organizations, though (is there one at studentaffairs.com or elsewhere?). --ElKevbo 22:22, 5 June 2007 (UTC)
- Thanks for the feedback ElKevbo. I appreciate it. I'm actually trying to put together an article about one of the orgs. The difficulty lies in that although these are internationally known orgs, most have never been written about in the press in terms of history, mission, etc. It's always just soundbites from representatives regarding a certain news topic. The NASPA article was recently deleted because I was using it as an example of what I was trying to do with this other org. I'll see if I can find a site that has a directory of Student Affairs Professional Organizations. Studentaffairs.com might be a good place to search... NASPA probably has a directory somewhere on their site.Eric Stoller 22:57, 5 June 2007 (UTC)
- I added a link to the Student Affairs Professional Associations list on Studentaffairs.com. Cheers. Eric Stoller 23:21, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Criticism
Not certain why the criticism aspect has been removed again and again. I tracked the IP and it leads to Brandeis University, leading me to think that someone in SA there has a bit too much sensitivity. Melmennnnn (talk) 07:20, 14 March 2008 (UTC)
