Hunger on campus: why US PhD students are fighting over food
Briefly

Jen Cruz, a first-generation university student, experienced food insecurity even while pursuing her PhD, relying on food stamps, loans, working multiple jobs, and visiting food pantries.
Despite being at Harvard for her PhD, Cruz shares accommodation to minimize costs, shops at discount farmers' markets, and works multiple jobs to support herself.
A study commissioned by the dean's office at Harvard provided hard evidence of food insecurity among students, leading to potential changes such as raising PhD student stipends.
