Many low-income college students are barred from food assistance for no reason other than the fact that they are pursuing a college education. Based on 22 interviews that capture the experiences of food insecure college students as they attempt to navigate SNAP, this study shows how low enrollment in the program and food insecurity are the predictable outcomes of policy decisions intended to restrict access to both free public higher education and public assistance in the 1980's and 1990's and were shaped by the racialized politics of deservingness. By documenting the barriers students encounter attempting to access food assistance, this study shows how these policies play out in the lives of students at the City University of New York (CUNY) today. Ultimately, the politics of deservingness create significant direct and indirect barriers to SNAP enrollment for students and limit policy makers' and advocates' attempts to expand SNAP and address food insecurity on college campuses.

许多低收入大学生被禁止获得食品援助,原因仅仅是他们正在接受大学教育。基于22次访谈,这些访谈记录了粮食不安全的大学生在尝试申请补充营养援助计划(SNAP)时的经历,本研究表明,该计划的低参与率和粮食不安全是20世纪80年代和90年代旨在限制免费公立高等教育和公共援助获取机会的政策决策的可预测结果,并且受到了应得权益的种族化政治的影响。通过记录学生在尝试获取食品援助时遇到的障碍,本研究展示了这些政策如今在纽约城市大学(CUNY)学生的生活中是如何体现的。最终,应得权益的政治为学生参与SNAP制造了重大的直接和间接障碍,并限制了政策制定者和倡导者扩大SNAP及解决大学校园粮食不安全问题的努力。
