dc.description.abstractPostsecondary institutions have increasingly focused attention on student basic needs insecurity, including housing, food, and mental health, as a growing body of research shows that these experiences significantly limit student learning and persistence toward degree completion. This report analyzes secondary survey and interview data from administrators at Texas community colleges to understand their perceptions of student basic needs insecurity (BNI) and the barriers that students face in accessing BNI support services. The analysis is situated in the context of the multiple levels of communication (interpersonal, organizational, and rhetorical) that influence perceptions of student BNI and can enforce or mitigate barriers to students receiving the BNI supports needed to succeed in college. The report aims to bridge the mostly disparate literature between communication studies and student BNI research by describing the results in terms of communication theory and practice and by offering practical implications for communication scholars to consider for future research.
