Introduction -- Section 1. The Goal: Making Parents Partners -- Section 2. Engaging Families of Underserved Students -- Section 3. Case Studies -- A Final Word.
Engaging with parents has become a major challenge for many colleges. It's not just "helicopter" parents--known to be affluent and demanding--who complain these days about their children's grades, job prospects, housing, roommates, and much more. Parents increasingly see themselves as consumers, and question the value of a college education. Colleges also worry that students aren't becoming independent enough. At the same time, many institutions are seeking more engagement with families of low-income and first-generation students, who often may not understand college culture.This issue brief will examine how colleges navigate the crucial parental / family relationship. Many college leaders cite the goal of making parents partners. "We're no longer accepting just a student," says the director of family relations at one college. "We're accepting an entire support group." -- The Chronicle Store.
