Supporting Vulnerable Campus Populations During the COVID-19 Pandemic

As a supplement to the two prior ACHA guidelines on COVID-19, this document provides considerations for institutions of higher education (IHEs) to support our most vulnerable populations who are disproportionately impacted by the pandemic and the ensuing economic downturn. These populations include African American/Black, Asian American, first generation/low income (FGLI), international, Latinx, LGBTQ+, Native American, and undocumented students, as well as students with disabilities.

This list is not exhaustive nor are the groups mutually exclusive. Based on individual campus demographics, other vulnerable populations may become apparent, and students may identify in multiple categories.
