      abstract = {Helicopter parents have become a recent phenomenon in  higher education. Who are these parents and why have they  landed on our college campuses? This monograph examines  parental involvement in higher education by looking at the  history of the relationship between students and  institutions and institutional responses to this  phenomenon.  It explores alternative theoretical frameworks  that highlight the benefits of strong parental  relationships for today's college students, paying  particular attention to the variables of gender, race, and  socioeconomic class and how they inform the student-parent  relationship.  This text concludes with implications for  practice and suggestions for policy so that all parents are  included in our institutional efforts, not just the ones  making all the noise. -- Back cover.},
