Despite Passage of FUTURE Act, HBCUs Still “Woefully Underfunded,” Says UNCF President
One could argue it’s been a victorious year for historically Black colleges and universities. The FUTURE Act – legislation sustaining federal funding for minority serving institutions – made a fraught, winding journey to President Donald J. Trump’s desk, where it was signed into law in December. But on Tuesday, Dr. Michael Lomax, president and CEO of the United Negro College Fund, discouraged unbridled optimism at the organization’s second annual “State of the HBCU Address” where HBCU leaders and allies gathered in Washington D.C.

Historically Black colleges and universities (HBCUs) are trying to spare graduates from crushing student loan debt, reported The Washington Post.

How My Tenure as Vice President at an HBCU Made Me a Better Scholar
My doctoral training gave me many things, including the “statistical chops” to analyze cross-sectional, nationally-representative, and complex-sampled survey data from HBCUs with relative ease.
