“The Ethical Professional Practice competency area pertains to the knowledge, skills, and attitudes needed to understand and apply ethical standards to one’s work. While ethics is an integral component of all the competency areas, this competency area focuses specifically on the integration of ethics into all aspects of self and professional practice” (ACPA & NASPA, 2010).
Competency Growth:
As a graduate hall director, I developed the ethical professional practice competency in various capacitates, such as a conduct officer deliberating cases with residents, a supervisor holding staff members accountable for their actions when expectations were not met, and as an on-call staff member responding to various incidents.
In CSP 6010: Foundations and Functions of College Student Personnel, we spent a class talking about ethical dilemmas student affairs professionals face (Janosik, Creamer & Humphrey, 2004). During this class session, we also spoke about the various ethical dilemmas we each face in our current internships.
In CSP 6300: Issues in College Student Personnel: “Leadership, Management, & Administration,” we talked about the ethical practice of leaders in higher education and student affairs, especially high-level administrators and the responsibility they have to the people they represent and advocate for.
