A compact is a set of principles shared by people engaged in a common purpose. At Buffalo State, the Compact for a Civil and Caring Academic Community describes how those who live, study and work together as members of our college community should treat each other: with civility and respect, with care and concern, and with a commitment to the academic purpose for which Buffalo State exists.

2

Buffalo State’s Compact is not a fixed document nor a policy, a rule or a regulation. Rather, it is an understanding about what is right in our community — what behaviors contribute to achieving our mission, vision and core values: • our commitment to the intellectual, personal and professional growth of students, faculty and staff

The compact is meant to promote the standards and expectations arising from its premise that Buffalo State is and should be a civil and caring academic community.

If your student commitst to the Pledge for a Civil and Caring Community, members of the faculty and staff will do their part: • We will SUPPORT your student when they need guidance,

• our desire to be known as a caring academic environment where lives are transformed and each individual is valued

• We will ENCOURAGE your student to resolve conflicts peacefully,

• our commitment to supportive and collegial relationships, respect for diversity and individual differences and opportunities for individuals to realize their full potential

• We will PROTECT your student from those who threaten the health, safety and security of our community

• We will ASSIST your student in times of difficulty and

This is our Compact for a Civil and Caring Academic Community. By working together, we make Buffalo State a safe, secure and challenging place for your student to learn and grow.

- By Amanda Taylor

There are rites of passage we go through as parents and generally it all begins with sleep deprivation. Then, as we gain our footing, we get to experience the “firsts.” First word.

First step. First tooth.

First day of school. First boyfriend or girlfriend.

First heartbreak. First graduation. First goodbye.

All of the “firsts” brim with a mix of emotions — joy, exhilaration, anxiety, wistfulness. But the thing about goodbyes when it comes to our children is that they always tug on our hearts — even after the first.

My 22-year-old son recently left the U.S. to study in Morocco. Though he has lived abroad in the past, his absence and great distance do not get easier. I knew when he was young that he would be an adventurous soul and distinctly remember him announcing at 12 years old that he planned to “travel the world” as soon as he could. A few years passed and sure enough he enlisted his father’s and my support to study abroad his senior year of high school.

With many defining moments in life, you don’t know how you will feel until the event occurs. In my experience as a

14

mother, my son’s moving across the world involved complex feelings. On one hand I was beyond excited for him and knew the opportunity would expand his worldview and open up possibilities. On the other hand, I was sad and worried. Each time he says goodbye, I can’t help thinking, “What if this is the last time I see him?” But I’ve come to accept that, no matter the outcome, my son is on his own unique and self-determined path, and that is what is important.

As a new mother, I read a book by Judith Viorst called Necessary Losses (1986).

Viorst discusses the mother-child bond and how difficult but necessary it is for child and parent to separate as part of a healthy relationship and for personal growth. She writes: I’ve learned that in the course of our life we leave and are left and let go of much that we love. Losing is the price we pay for living. It is also the source of much of our growth and gain. Making our way from birth to death, we also have to make our way through the pain of giving up some portion of what we cherish. We have to deal with our necessary losses.

For in leaving the blurred-boundary bliss of mother-child oneness, we become a conscious, unique and separate self, exchanging the illusion of absolute shelter and absolute safety for the triumphant anxieties of standing alone. In giving up our impossible expectations, we become a lovingly connected self, renouncing ideal visions of perfect friendship, marriage, children, family life for the sweet imperfections of all-too-human relationships.

I try to keep in mind how essential separations like these are for my son’s emotional well-being and understand it can be a catalyst for great personal growth and transformation. I always feel more at ease after I’m able to see where and with whom he’s living, and know that he has made connections with people in the community. It’s also reassuring to communicate with him every few weeks via text or Skype.

As I contemplate an ending to this short piece, I sit and look at my mother sleeping.

I have traveled to be with her for a week as she recuperates from surgery. I am reminded of my role as a daughter and think back to when I first left my own family of origin. Although I didn’t leave the country, I left for college. With grace, my mother let me go while continuing to be a supportive and loving force in my life. I hope I am able to continue to model the same love and support for my children even when they are worlds away.

With grace, my mother let me go while continuing to be a supportive and loving force in my life.

A crucial developmental task for college students is learning to handle independence, solve problems, and selfadvocate. Parents are important to supporting this growth, which is why you may receive messages from the university reminding you not to rush to the rescue when your student has a problem.

Still, there are times when parents should get involved. If you suspect that it’s one of those times for your student, start by contacting the administrator closest to the situation (academic, residential, athletic, etc.). Premature calls to the President, Chancellor or Provost will always be directed back to that person.

These three rules of thumb may help you decide if the time is right to intervene:

1

Step in when it’s an issue of safety.

Your student’s safety always comes first.

If your student is having a major health crisis, physical or emotional, the Student Affairs staff will welcome your assistance and your presence. When students are hospitalized, nothing helps more than having parents present. Decisions need to be made quickly, and ailing students may not be able to make them alone.

2 your student about the nature

Consider what you want to teach

of the world. Parents often intervene

prematurely when their student is involved in a conduct violation. College is a relatively safe place for students to experience the natural consequences of their actions.

Although painful and embarrassing, participating in a campus judicial proceeding for a minor behavioral violation can be an excellent educational experience for students. Sometimes students on probation are not allowed to participate in organizational leadership, study abroad or other campus privileges.

Again, painful, but not fatal. Parental intervention in these matters communicates to students that they cannot be trusted to manage their own behavior.

However, if a student is involved in a major conduct violation that might involve suspension, expulsion, or criminal charges, parents’ involvement is not unusual. If you choose to intervene in such a circumstance, do not expect to attend campus judicial proceedings or to try to influence sanctions imposed on your student. Colleges are ethically and legally obligated to follow their written policies and procedures. It is fine to have respectful conversations with college administrators to clarify processes and timelines. Focus on expressing your continuing love and support for your student during a trying time.

3

Presume good will. When you intervene to support your student, assume that college officials will be your allies not adversaries. Student Life professionals are passionate about student development and success.

The common ground you share is your student’s well-being. These administrators can help you navigate university processes, clarify options and provide ongoing support to you and your student. Even if you are upset, focus on establishing a partnership with these professionals who are in close relationship with your student. They will help you.
