Nonprofit organizations that work closely with HBCUs celebrated the news, calling this a win for the Black colleges. The department called the minority-serving institutions’ programs “ineffective and discriminatory” in the first release. The funds, which are Title III, will support both public and private Black colleges. Under the Higher Education Title III funding, HBCUs will benefit from federal funding to serve low-income students. Trump has made several statements about his contributions to Black colleges that have garnered reactions from the HBCU community.
