Research conducted before coronavirus disease-2019 illustrated high rates of food insecurity among college students. The pandemic has likely increased student food insecurity because of factors like unemployment and closure of campus resources, and many students cannot access federal food assistance because of long-standing student restrictions. This perspective reviews federal legislation on college food insecurity introduced in the 116th legislative session (2019-2020) immediately before coronavirus disease-2019 in the US, as well as pandemic-related stimulus bills and their implications for future policies and practice. Food insecurity promises to become more pressing as colleges try to reopen and the country grapples with economic recovery.
在 2019 冠状病毒病之前进行的研究表明，大学生中存在很高的粮食不安全率。由于失业和校园资源关闭等因素，大流行可能增加了学生的粮食不安全，而且许多学生由于长期存在的学生限制而无法获得联邦粮食援助。本观点回顾了美国在 2019 冠状病毒病之前的第 116 届立法会议（2019-2020 年）期间提出的关于大学生粮食不安全问题的联邦立法，以及与大流行相关的刺激法案及其对未来政策和实践的影响。随着大学试图重新开放，国家努力实现经济复苏，粮食不安全问题可能会变得更加紧迫。
