Problem
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 since some of the classes don't end until 8 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).
Discuss the following:
A. Explain how you would approach the given scenario using diverse and ethical perspectives. Provide examples from your professional or personal life for support.
B. Explain why it's important to apply diverse and ethical perspectives to the given scenario.
C. Discuss how you would raise awareness about and communicate the value of applying a diverse and ethical perspective to colleagues.
