SCENARIO

In the graduate program at Herringbone University, students are allowed only one missed class per semester or they face academic discipline. Three female students have approached you as the diversity and ethics officer with a concern about the policy. They explain that they all have young children (as do many students in the program), and getting childcare during class times is difficult because some of the classes don’t end until 8:00 in the evening. They feel the policy is unfair, especially since the university doesn’t offer any support, leniency in policy, or childcare options. In addition, the location of the university (an upper middle class neighborhood where most children have at least one parent at home) is not where most students live (a neighborhood where most children have two working parents or a single working parent).                                                                                                                                                                                                                              Use this template to answer three questions about the scenario you just read. Your responses will make up the third paragraph of your cover letter. The whole paragraph should be 5–7 sentences, so you should write around 1–3 sentences for each question.
