"This book provides a theoretical and practical resource for scholar-practitioners to learn and practice decision-making and critical thinking. This needed revision, with new cases involving social media, campus violence, and student activism, will invite thoughtful discussion about a challenging array of problems." Susan V. Iverson, Professor and Coordinator, Higher Education Leadership, Manhattanville College, USA.
"Stage and Hubbard continue to build a bridge between theory and practice in higher education and student affairs. This updated edition provides a first-rate framework for analyzing practical dilemmas and challenges decision makers to consider nuances of institutional history, political context, legal ramifications, and other critical factors. The variety, realism, and contemporary quality of the new cases also make it an ideal text for graduate courses and other forms of professional development." Tracy Davis, Professor and CSP Program Director, Western Illinois University, USA.

It will encourage thoughtful reflection and discussion about how higher education and student development theories should influence our decision making."
