Abstract | This qualitative study explored whether higher education leaders applied an ethic of care or ethic of justice when making decisions that impacted student wellbeing during the COVID-19 pandemic, and whether the ethic of care, more aligned with a focus on student wellbeing, was more dominant, given student wellbeing was at risk during the pandemic. In general, according to Gilligan (1982), the ethic of justice considers fairness, equality and justice, and the ethic of care considers maintaining relationships and the wellbeing of others. Student affairs leaders from residential higher education institutions that remained open, with students living on campus during the COVID-19 pandemic years of 2020-22, were interviewed about dilemmas they encountered related to student wellbeing. Interview data were analyzed using Nona Lyons' coding scheme to identify consideration of care and justice by the leaders; results indicated that student affairs leaders apply both care and justice perspectives during a crisis when student wellbeing is of concern. Furthermore, the ethic of care was more dominant; 100% of the leaders made some care considerations, and 80% applied an ethic of care more than an ethic of justice. These findings suggest a strong relationship between the ethic of care and supporting student wellbeing in higher education during a crisis. Given student wellbeing is critical to retention and persistence, leading from an ethic of care should be a priority in higher education, and research is needed to understand how the ethics of justice and care impact wellbeing.
