Higher education is experiencing tremendous pressure from constituents to justify activities and the quality of its product (student outcomes). This increased level of accountability makes it a necessity that collaborative relationships exist between academic and student affairs to improve the quality of undergraduate education. One way in which this collaboration may occur is through faculty involvement in student affairs governance activities. This study focused on the perceptions of Senior Student Affairs Officers (SSAO) regarding faculty involvement in institutional and student affairs governance.

This study explored the relationship between ACT scores and academic achievement among first-year college students on academic probation (n = 192) at a large southern university. Results suggest participants’ ACT scores did not correlate with second semester grade point averages (GPA). When GPAs were compared with ACT scores of the larger student body admitted during the same academic year, results indicated students on academic probation averaged significantly lower. However, comparisons with national averages suggest participants’ ACT scores demonstrated a regression to the mean. The implications this study has for retention, academic improvement, and academic counseling in higher education are discussed.
