Focusing on the Student Right to Know and Campus Security Act (SRKCSA) of 1990, the First Amendment, and judicial issues related to disciplinary counseling, this document discusses legal issues for student development personnel not engaged in instruction and therefore falling outside of traditional academic rulings. The first section describes the SRKCSA, noting that the mandated and expensive program of publishing and distributing crime statistics has had little impact on campus crime or student behavior. The next section focuses on the First Amendment in the context of an academic environment, highlighting decisions in cases where the right to freedom of expression and association on campus and via E-Mail were in conflict with respect for racial, ethnic, and/or religious groups. The third section discusses judicial issues related to student disciplinary action, reviewing cases related to due process for students and regulation of off-campus conduct, while the fourth section focuses on disciplinary counseling and procedures of referral and efficient withdrawal of students suffering psychiatric disorders. Finally, four surveys of the value of crime statistics are reviewed, indicating a negative perception of the effectiveness of such statistics, and recommendations for increasing awareness of non-instructional legal issues are provided. Contains 50 citations of works, cases, and statutes. A statement on the rights and freedoms of students, a model student disciplinary code, and survey instrument from a study of disciplinary counseling personnel are appended. (KP)
