“…Several researchers directly observed that families of suicidal children were particularly resistant to transitioning after high school. For all families, sending a child to college required the restructuring of roles, which some parents were unable to carry out (Solky et al, 1988;Levenson, Stockhamer, & Feiner, 1967).…”

A sample of 3,484 incoming first-year students at a large, mid-Atlantic University were surveyed to assess a variety of attitudinal and behavioral variables pertinent to the college experience. The current study focused on how student value system orientation, or the degree to which values are open or closed, related to key aspects of college student development. Results revealed that students with open value systems had a greater investment in social problems, had more interaction with and tolerance for diverse groups, had more favorable attitudes toward multiculturalism and affirmative action, and engaged in slightly more alcohol consumption. Also, those with closed value systems were more likely to be religious and male. It is suggested that the ability of college students to have an open set of beliefs or values may be critical to their experiences in a diverse college setting and that administrators should be cognizant of this when promoting diversity initiatives.When entering college, students bring with them a unique set of values that may serve to inform how they approach both their academic and social environments. In the student development literature, numerous researchers and theorists have examined how specific student values, such as social values, religious values, sexual values, and cultural values, relate to their experiences in

O Decisions by university officials not to notify a student's parents following a suicide attempt on campus have been severely criticized by some observers. Although courts have not imposed a parental notice requirement, the practice is advantageous to students in many situations. The author recommends a system of notification that relies primarily upon nonmedical student affairs officers to collect reports and communicate with parents following a campus suicide attempt. In determining what information to communicate to parents, student affairs officers are advised to keep in mind the legal implications of the disclosure, including the possibility of a subsequent episode of selfdestructive behavior.In an era when a significant percentage of university students are deliberately cutting themselves, swallowing quantities of pills, or engaging in other forms of self-destructive behavior, an increasing number of lawsuits are being filed against postsecondary institutions by families of students who committed suicide on campus. Of the cases brought to court, several involved a student who threatened sui-Brought to you by | HEC Bibliotheque Maryriam ET J. Authenticated Download Date | 6/26/15 2:43 PM
