Yet first-generation and/or low-income (FLI) college students continue to encounter barriers to success because they do not have authentic access to digital technology needed to graduate and be career-ready in our rapidly changing economy. This paper analyzes the current state of digital inequity among FLI students at Stanford University. It also reviews existing programs to address digital inequity at California State University, Fresno (Fresno State), the University of Michigan and Bowdoin College and provides guidance on developing a device program. Finally, the paper recommends strategies to better understand digital inequity and to address it in a sustainable way.  \nKeywords: Digital Equity, Student Success, First-Generation, Low-Income (FLI), Stanford University, Fresno State  \nINTRODUCTION  \nAt Stanford University, as at so many other colleges and universities, the Covid-19 pandemic laid bare what some administrators had already suspected to be true: a significant number of students did not have technology devices that adequately met the demands of a college education. When Stanford sent students home for remote learning in March of 2020, students came to the student Tech Desk – the  \n*Kate Berkley is Senior Associate for Strategy and Policy at the National Education Equity Lab, Joseph I.

Having relied upon loan devices and computer lab desktops during their time at Stanford, these students would not have access to personal computers while learning remotely. Without hesitation, the Tech Desk loaned students devices, asking them to bring them back whenever they returned to campus. In total, the Tech Desk sent students nearly 400 deviceslaptops and tablets-during the university’s period of remote learning.  \nWhile Stanford’s Learning Technologies and Spaces (LTS) division – the campus office which operates the Tech Desk as part of its work to support the learning technology infrastructure on Stanford’s campus – was able to rely on its supply of loaner devices to address student requests promptly and adequately, the urgent demand revealed a clear student need that had gone unaddressed.
