When students’ most basic needs are not met, it’s hard for them to function, let alone learn. The university’s latest student-experience surveys show that 42% of undergraduates and 23% of graduate students across UC campuses have reported experiencing “food insecurity.” Furthermore, 6% of all students have experienced homelessness at some point during their time at a UC.
