Student Conduct Administrative Professionals: Relationships Between Professional Identity, Training, Skills and Experience

Abstract:A diverse sample of 329 student conduct administrators, holding at least a Master’s degree, participated in a study to explore whether their level of specialized training, their need to stay up-to-date on current trends, and mastery of specific skills sets met the necessary criteria to determine whether student conduct administration could be considered an independent and unique profession. Also explored was the relationship between tenure on the job and mastery of skills.
