February Post: Parent Involvement Wanted
With so much talk about parent involvement on college campuses, let’s finally hear from the students.
According to the annual survey of college freshmen, recently released by the Higher Education Research Institute at the University of California at Los Angeles, most students are happy with the "hovering": http://www.insidehighered.com/news/2008/01/24/frosh
Are you surprised by the data?
Is this reflective of what you see on your respective campuses?

I am a graduate student who is studying parental intervention with college/university faculty and staff.
If any students have had experiences with parents contacting faculty and staff on their behalf, I would love to talk to you as part of my research.

I'm a Ph.D. student studying how parents of first-generation college students experience their child's first year in college. Please do NOT read into the posted article - it is flawed on 2 accounts: 1) it assumes all students who responded to the survey thought their parents were hovering - just look at how the Q was poorly phrased 2)it does NOT take into account first-generation or subsequent generation student status nor socioeconomic background of these students and the "perceived" actions of their parents. There is NO supporting emperical evidence given the info in the article that students are "happy with the hovering." Articles like this just perpetuate the myth that all college parents are hoverers when they are not - and NO emperical studies have been done WITH PARENTS to prove otherwise. Just look for them - you won't find any.
