HBCUs just received a $174 million funding boost, and some of the lawmakers who champion them are not celebrating.
The Congressional Black, Hispanic, and Asian Pacific American Caucuses say the money was pulled from grants that supported other minority-serving colleges, calling it "a cynical ploy to pit minority communities against each other." Organizations like UNCF have praised the investment, while critics point to the administration's rollbacks of DEI programs and cuts to Hispanic-Serving Institutions.
So is this a win for HBCUs or a divide-and-conquer move? The answer is more complicated than either side suggests.
