Battling Campus Racial Climate Strife: Student Affairs Professionals Experiences with Politics

 

Abstract

The authors investigated 12 student affairs professionals’ experiences with political climate across five predominantly white institutions using a multiple case study constant comparative approach. This article describes how recurring racialized incidents have affected student affairs professionals’ ability to navigate the United States political climate and its influence on their institution’s campus racial climate. This study highlights implications for practice and research that challenge the field of student affairs to rethink how it supports and advocates for student affairs professionals.
