I'm hopeful that UB will rethink its policies about (not) allowing graduates to cross the stage with their children. Being a #studentparent is hard work and requires sacrifice on the part of all in a family. Let's celebrate everyone's contributions to getting to that finish line!
A University of Buffalo graduate was chased across the stage by police at Sunday's commencement ceremony for carrying a prohibited item while he tried to collect his diploma: a baby.
University of Buffalo grad chased by police as he runs across stage holding his baby
The student has since apologized to graduation officials and will still receive his degree, the school said. The baby still has some credits to complete.

Why does @usedgov.bsky.social matter? 1 in 5 college students is a #StudentParent. Without DOE, Student Parents lose childcare aid (#CCAMPIS), Title IX protections, & key data that shapes policy. Support for Student Parents shouldn't depend on where they live! #HigherEd #EdPolicy #Parenting #Equity

Fantasy vs reality WFH with 3yo. Fantasy: 3yo sits by me drawing &/or listening to her Yoto while I type away. Reality: 3yo is stressed by my need to WFH again, I am under a pile of soft toys, my back is agony, Sarah & Duck is on. Only 2wks to go. This is the final push. #AcademicSky #StudentParent

How D.C. tackled a child care crunch through a tax hike on the rich
In Washington, D.C., a tax on residents earning more than $250,000 a year is boosting the wages of child care workers. Two years in, it's proving to be a great investment.
