Columbia University - divorced parents financial aid

[picknroll222]

@thumper1 here’s what the basic, quicker net price calculator for Columbia states:

Like many colleges and universities, Columbia adheres to a principle that both biological or adoptive parents, regardless of their current marital status, play a primary role in providing for their child’s education. Because of this principle, Columbia does require information about both biological or adoptive parents and does expect each to provide reasonable financial support during their child’s time at Columbia. It is also important to note that during the actual application process, there will be opportunities to provide additional information regarding the student’s biological or adoptive parents.

I find it interesting that it does not mention the stepparent contribution. I think a similar message appeared on their College Board net price calculator. Thoughts?
