Barbara Gault, Executive Director of the Institute for Women’s Policy Research, recently discussed challenges facing low-income students in higher education. Gault noted that women, especially women of color, are much more likely to face caregiving responsibilities on top of school and work. Support services as well as access to public benefits such as child-care subsidies, food stamps, and the EITC are part of creating better access for these students.
