"The Law, Policy, and Governance competency area includes the knowledge, skills, and attitudes relating to policy development processes used in various contexts, the application of legal constructs, and the understanding of governance structures and their effect on one's professional practice." (ACPA & NASPA, 2010, p. 20).
In my work, I deal with Law and Policy in the Learning Resource Center and disability services. Although I do not directly disagnose students, I work with my supervisor on accommodations for the students. I am in charge of the note taking program which is for students with some disabilities. These notes are kept confidential, and neither the note taker nor the person receiving notes knows each other.
As a hall director, I work with FERPA laws when it comes to parents. It seems that the lines are pretty fuzzy when it comes to these laws and private institutions, but I am not allowed to release information to parents or other students who call on behalf of a student. I also see laws play out when I have to search rooms for alcohol or drugs.
