Institute for Higher Education Policy: “Unmet need—refers to the gap between students’ total college costs (including both tuition and non-tuition expenses) and the funds available to them through grant aid and family resources (measured as their “expected family contribution”). Students with unmet needs take out more loans, work more hours, face higher degrees of food and housing insecurity, and are at greater risk of forgoing higher education or leaving school without a credential.”
Established in 2015, this website was conceived by current and former Michigan State University faculty members. The purpose is to be declarative about the pernicious impacts of neoliberalism on higher education and society at large. With new articles posted daily, there is a rotating set of features, perspectives, news stories, and other materials of interest.
