NASPA's Public Policy Division was established in 1997 to support the association' strategic goals and objectives to "provide leadership in higher education through policy development and advocacy for students on important national issues." 

Major responsibilities include but are not limited to the following:

1. Determine which policy issues the association will address
2. Formulate and articulate the association's response and position
3. Provide members with up-to-date information concerning relevant legal, legislative, and other public policy issues.

Recent activities include reviewing requests for NASPA to sign on to various letters from the Washington higher education community on various public policy issues, Higher Education Act Reauthorization analysis, providing information to members on critical public policy issues that have an impact on the student affairs profession, and drafting timely articles in the Forum and Leadership Exchange.
