In 2019-20, UCSA partnered with the UCLA Luskin policy group on an APP project studying support for UC’s parenting students. The official paper, compiles a series of interviews with parenting students, policy experts, and members of the workgroup to come out with an analysis of current gap areas in resources for parenting students, as well as an evaluation criterion for the various potential policy options that the workgroup could consider based on the current economic and structural realities.
