The Hidden Curriculum of Student Conduct Proceedings
"First-generation students make up 54 percent of all undergraduates in the U.S., or about 8.2 million students. But only one in four first-generation students graduates with a college degree, compared to nearly 60 percent of continuing-generation students."
"Conduct systems are complicated because they require a fluency to navigate the bureaucracy, which can be challenging for first-generation students who lack family support."
Hidden curricula in higher education create barriers for first-generation students, who comprise 54 percent of U.S. undergraduates. Research seeks to identify lesser-known policies that disadvantage these students. While they bring diverse strengths, many lack the family support necessary to navigate bureaucratic processes. A significant discrepancy exists in graduation rates, with only one in four first-generation students graduating compared to nearly 60 percent of their peers. Insights shared by Kristin Ridge reflect personal experiences and emphasize the need for improved support structures for these students.
