<p>My D was excited to see news vans on campus, but beyond that thought little of the whole kerfluffle. I note that AU’s official statement made it clear that the prof’s legit options did not include bringing a baby to class. I wonder if her actions will have a negative impact on her quest for tenure.</p>
<p>One lesson I hope women take from this is that choosing to be a single mother (I think that’s a fair assumption in this case, though we don’t know for sure) is choosing a difficult path. Kids get sick, kids have problems, kids need attention and assistance at unpredictable times. Having a second adult in a family means a lot.</p>
