“…Over the next few years, I expect basic needs insecurity among college students to grow, since stimulus payments and rental supports are ending, and students who dropped out of college due to basic needs insecurity will re-enroll, even though their financial needs are not fully met. In the coming years, new entering students will likely face even greater financial instability, in part to diminished wealth among families of color and a weakened job market (Khanal, Prouty, & Stedman, 2021). I believe that by 2023 we will observe basic needs insecurity rates closer to two-thirds of students enrolled in the public sector, including those who are racial/ethnic minorities, and those from the low and middle classes.…”

The COVID-19 pandemic has undoubtedly exacerbated the challenging situation facing many students in colleges and universities in the United States. To promote student success and address equity issues in higher education, there is an urgent need to treat students as humans first and attend to their basic needs. In this essay, I present evidence pointing to the fact that the pandemic has made student basic needs insecurity even worse. However, well designed and successfully implemented emergency aid programs and other innovative interventions with equity at the center can help address problems in student basic needs insecurity. I present successful examples in addressing student basic needs insecurity and call for sustained and bold actions.

COVID-19 translated African Americans’ greater social, economic, and health-related risk, reflecting adverse Social Determinants of Health (SDOH), into greater COVID morbidity, hospitalization, and mortality, and it threatened to enlarge the very risks causing greater COVID suffering. However, following a federal policy response injecting trillions of dollars into the US economy, longstanding African American-White disparities in economic well-being, insurance coverage, vaccination rates, and evictions declined. On the other hand, troubling and consequential disparities in k-12 academic achievement and college attendance disparities widened. Continuous monitoring and careful research are needed to document and explain trajectories in social determinant disparities and to offer insight into how policy intervention can decrease continuing disparities in economic well-being, health care, and housing stability.
