Matt Easley Traditionally, most students have been viewed as just that, as students.
Students spend their days in the classroom, and their nights doing homework and studying for exams.
Perhaps they have a small part-time job to help make ends meet. However students are not just students. Students may have a multitude of roles in our society, and one of these is as parents. Unfortunately, this bias, that students are only students, can be codified in university policies that may have a detrimental effect against students with children. Our discussion addressed what some of these biases are, and what steps the university can take to address them.
