Inside Higher Ed: Prioritizing Student Parents

In an Inside Higher Ed article, David Croom provides insight into why collecting robust student parent data is critical to postsecondary institutions’ understanding of how student parents are enrolling, persisting, and graduating.

“Many institutions are not necessarily collecting robust student-parent data, which is something that we believe systematically but unintentionally excludes student parents from important resources. If colleges are not collecting those data, then they don’t know what student parents need and they’re not seeing how student parents are being not served effectively at those institutions.”
