Higher Education Guidelines for Professional and Academic Staff Working with Student Veterans
註釋The following guidelines are designed for professional and academic staff working with student veterans in the Australian higher education sector. For the purpose of these guidelines, we define a student veteran as any person who has served in the Australian Defence Force (Navy, Army, and Air Force) who is in higher education (Australian Student Veterans Association, 2019). We use the term collectively to include members who have discharged, as well as currently serving members and reservists.The guidelines are informed by the national project, 'From the military to the academy: supporting younger military veterans in Australian higher education' (Harvey, Andrewartha, Sharp, Wyatt-Smith, Jones, Shore, & Simons, 2019). The project was led by La Trobe University's Centre for Higher Education Equity and Diversity Research (CHEEDR), in collaboration with the Australian Student Veterans Association (ASVA), Australian Catholic University, Charles Darwin University, and Western Sydney University. The guidelines have also been shaped by a previous research project, 'Supporting younger veterans to succeed in higher education', conducted by CHEEDR in collaboration with ASVA (Harvey, Andrewartha, Sharp, & Wyatt-Smith, 2018). As part of the research project, 240 student veterans completed a survey about their strengths, needs, and experiences. While both projects were focussed on public universities, many of the recommendations in these guidelines could also be applied to non-university higher education providers.
