GAO report reviews studies on student hunger

www.insidehighered.com: A long-awaited report examining the extent of hunger on college campuses recommends increasing students' awareness of federal food assistance benefits so that institutions can better combat the problem.

The U.S. Government Accountability Office report, which was released today, examined 31 studies on food insecurity among students and determined that about two million at-risk students who were potentially eligible for food aid through the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, or SNAP, did not report receiving the benefits in 2016.
