Ethics and Legal Issues In Advising Interest Group
Advisors are finding that their work is becoming more complex due to the increased diversity in the student population. The introduction of the internet as well as new privacy laws such as FERPA have created situations which have raised ethical or legal problems for advisors.

In the past two years, ethical and legal issues have been discussed via presentations or publications. However, our members need a place to discuss their questions. In addition, as our student population becomes more diverse, advisors need a place where to obtain information where legal issues and ethical issues collide.

Our discussions can help advisors understand:

  • The limits of their expertise and when to make referrals
  • Avoid dual relationships
  • Provide a framework to promote ethical conduct in advisors
  • Understand the potential legal liability areas related to their work
  • Understand the importance of basic knowledge about immigration laws
  • Provide a forum where advisors could discuss ethical or legal questions safely
