Personal and Ethical Foundations
The Personal and Ethical Foundations competency
area involves the knowledge, skills, and
dispositions to develop and maintain integrity in
ones life and work; this includes thoughtful
development, critique, and adherence to a holistic
and comprehensive standard of ethics and
commitment to ones own wellness and growth.
Personal and ethical foundations are aligned
because integrity has an internal locus informed
by a combination of external ethical guidelines, an
internal voice of care, and our own lived
experiences. Our personal and ethical foundations
grow through a process of curiosity, reflection, and
self-authorship.

Competency Area
Social Justice and Inclusion
For the purpose of the Social Justice and Inclusion

a process and a goal that includes the knowledge,
skills, and dispositions needed to create learning
environments that foster equitable participation of

involves student affairs educators who have a
sense
of their own agency and social responsibility that

the larger global context. Student affairs
educators may incorporate social justice and
inclusion competencies into their practice through
seeking to meet the needs of all groups, equitably
distributing resources, raising social
consciousness, and repairing past and current
harms on campus communities.
