Common App won't allow me to leave out my father's contact info

<p>What sort of bias is this? I haven't seen him in 7 years, since he abandoned the family. The designers of this seem rather arrogant to <em>require</em> a phone number when I don't even know it.</p>

<p>maybe you can just put in random numbers, and then explain in the additional info section that you don't have contact with your father.</p>

<p>yeah, thats what i would do.</p>
