So misleading, this headline. Not anywhere close to that many ate ‘homeless’ and I’ll just bet that a lot of the kids showing up at the food bank are just cheap freeloaders.
The situation is dire yet a “handful” of students showed up to get food.
Here’s an idea. Do away with tenure and stop raising tuition and fees every year so they can keep giving themselves raises.
Had a number of friends in college who would hit happy hour for the free food. Order one drink and eat for hours.
How was the study done? Did they send out questionnaires with questions such as:
1a. Do you get enough to eat?
Option 2 would be to show up at a food bank and ask recipients
1b. Are you a college student?
I think 1a would be a more effective way of doing the study, but follow-up is needed, such as:
2a. Do you get dorm food that you don’t like?
3a. Do you go to food banks for free food?
(If yes, it could be concluded that the student has an
*inability to afford food*)
Also the homeless status is a bit difficult as well. “Couch surfing” at a friend’s house...it could be that the couch surfer is not paying rent, but not necessarily.
Yep - when one spends his money on beer and drugs, the “soup kitchens” get more customers.
First problems first: There are WAY to many people attending College.
