Five-Year Plan Targets Minority-Serving Colleges
By Charles Dervarics
A five-year management plan adopted by the U.S. Department of Education calls for strengthening Black colleges, Hispanic-serving institutions and tribal colleges.
As one of several objectives in higher education, the Strategic Plan 2002-2007 seeks improvements for minority-serving institutions, calling them essential in “closing the gap between low-income and minority students and their high-income, non-minority peers” and increasing college opportunity.
