Separate configuration options for faculty and student works
We would like to have more granular control over our asset display configurations. Theses/dissertations and other types of non-published student works do not have the same descriptive needs as published faculty works, and having a blanket configuration that is meant to address all types of published and non-published works is leading to confusion as to how to correctly present and interpret the presented metadata. In order to best represent our non-published student works and ETDs, it would be better to have those assets configured separately from faculty works.

Just as an example of how this causes confusion, we have non-ETD student works in our repository that have the Theses and Dissertations field visible (but these aren't ETD works). The backend metadata lists our institution as the awarding institution in the brief metadata display, but when you open the record there's no place to edit/remove that information.
