This book grounds the ethical statements in student affairs with the literature and research of student affairs The authors point out that as a profession we must [learn to] recognize ethical situations as well analyze these situations as they arise. The case studies provide a wide variety of examples that will promote reflection and discussion among all practitioners.

Vasti Torres, associate professor of higher education and student affairs, Indiana University
In our day-to-day professional activities using theories, values, and ethics of care when faced with a challenging situation may not be a common practice when making decisions. The editors and authors of Maybe I Should… remind us, through the cases presented, that moral dilemma discussions with colleagues help broaden our perspectives on what we view as "right or wrong" decisions. These decisions push the readers to engage in a mental moral musical chairs process by reviewing the situations from multiple perspectives then assessing the issue from the soul rather than policy alone.

Mary F. Howard-Hamilton, professor of higher education, Indiana State University
The case studies offered in Maybe I Should offer student affairs professionals, from graduate students through senior student affairs officers, the chance to consider a host of ethical challenges common in our field. The inclusion of a variety of situations, settings, and institutional types makes the book a great resource for personal reflection, professional preparation classrooms, or professional development discussions.

George S. McClellan, vice chancellor for student affairs, Indiana University-Purdue University, Fort Wayne
This book will immediately become a standard text for both student affairs professionals and graduate students who wish to improve their understanding of professional ethics and their ability to apply ethical considerations to everyday practice. The rich, complex ethical dilemmas and ethics resources provided will improve both the teaching and learning of ethics in our field.

Michael G. Ignelzi, associate professor at Slippery Rock University and chair of the ACPA Ethics Committee
