An op-ed from TICAS’ Emmanuel Rodriguez and the HERE Lab’s Laura Hamilton highlights an overlooked group: students from low- or middle-income households with little or no family wealth. As fed cuts loom, supporting CA's dually disadvantaged is essential.

Federal cuts will produce new challenges for higher ed, but financial aid priority should go to those with little or no wealth and low incomes.
