ACUHO-I holds strongly to our responsibility, as a mission-driven organization, to exercise influential leadership within the campus housing profession. Understanding that we are stronger when we stand together, we believe that higher education will benefit from ACUHO-I’s influence on public policy and the campus housing profession.
ACUHO-I advocates for the campus housing profession and the individuals who work in it through several avenues. ACUHO-I is an active member of the Council of Higher Education Management Associations (CHEMA), which engages in information and experience-sharing and working collectively on projects of interest. Additionally, the Association engages with the Student Affairs Higher Education Consortium (SAHEC) with ACPA, ACHA, NIRSA, and NACA on government relations representation through Active Policy Solutions (APS).
APS provides ongoing environmental scanning, issue forecasting, and analysis of issues impacting consortium members, all of which is shared out via weekly Policy Pages housed in the Association’s online community. The Consortium also serves as the avenue where associations can share information and opinions with lawmakers through position papers, open comment periods, and other avenues. This allows ACUHO-I to be an informational resource, providing updates on developing trends, considerations, policies, and legislation.
In addition to these external efforts, ACUHO-I hosts a Public Policy Advisory Committee (PPAC). This collection of volunteers, in concert with ACUHO-I staff and leadership, helps facilitate its own environmental scanning of issues, coordinates ACUHO-I’s response to pertinent legislative action, and provides feedback and professional insight into the potential impacts associated with these types of changes. This committee is also central to the creation of ACUHO-I’s straw polls, which are deployed to the membership in order to gather quick snapshots of how the profession is responding to different developments and environmental factors impacting campus housing work and the students we serve.
