A front page article that ran in the Seattle Times on Wednesday, Feb. 26 informed readers of the following:
1. About 1 in 5 students at Washington community colleges are homeless.
2. About 40% of these students were going hungry.
I just find this absurdly unbelievable.
This was based on research done by #Real College Survey, led by Hope Center for College, Community and Justice at Temple University in Philadelphia, PA. The article said the survey is based on information supplied by students taking the survey. Link to article:
