This document presents an ethical case study involving Anthony, a student affairs administrator, and Juana, a student. Anthony and Juana were seen dancing closely and leaving a nightclub together. This violated ethical standards from CAS, NASPA, and ACPA regarding conflicts of interest, promoting responsible behavior in students, and addressing issues with students that have ethical implications.
