New Mexico Higher Education Student Basic Needs Report

In the spring of 2023, the University of New Mexico’s Basic Needs Project, in partnership with the New Mexico Higher Education Department and the Governor’s Food Initiative, conducted a statewide survey of basic needs insecurity among students, faculty, and staff currently enrolled or employed in the state’s public institutions of higher education. Twenty-seven of the state’s twenty-nine institutions participated in the study, all of which are federally designation Minority-Serving Institutions. This report presents student data and will be followed by a report on faculty and staff by fall of 2024.
