Data Highlight Internet and Device Access Disparities
“Students of color, caretakers and students from low-income backgrounds are more likely to face barriers accessing fast and reliable internet and functioning devices than their peers, new survey data show.
“Online Isn’t Optional: Student Polling on Access to Internet and Devices” was published this week by the Institute for Higher Education Policy, a nonprofit research, policy and advocacy organization that aims to promote success for all students. The report draws on survey responses from over 1,000 college students and includes several recommendations for improving broadband and technology access in higher education. Polling data shared in the survey were contributed by the left-leaning think tanks New America and Third Way.”
