Parent involvement increases at universities
By OLEE FOWLER, Alligator Contributing Writer

For an increasing number of UF students, class registration is becoming a
family affair.

Instead of turning to advisers or teachers for help when picking classes,
students are reaching out to an old and familiar source - their parents.

Albert Matheny, director of academic advising and associate dean of the
College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, has noticed a significant increase in
the number of parents involved with their students' academics since he
started at UF in 1998, he said.

Matheny said he feels as if it might be hindering students from growing on
their own.
