Joe Biden is apparently looking to create massive and shocking cuts to the funding of HBCUs.

Dr Alicia and I are both college professors, so this concerns us quite a bit.

According to Newsweek:

Historically Black colleges and universities (HBCUs) that were looking forward to $45 billion in funding may be faced with just $2 billion under the Biden administration’s multitrillion-dollar spending plan, a result of Democratic infighting, the Associated Press reported.

The $3.5 trillion bill was set to include $45 billion for HBCUs and other minority-serving institutions, but the newest iteration of the bill allots only $2 billion for educational programs and infrastructure of HBCUs. That amount could even be reduced to competitive grant funding, instead of direct funding to the schools.

Harry L. Williams, president of the Thurgood Marshall College Fund, which represents public HBCUs, stressed the importance of the funding, and the needs the original funding could have helped fulfill. He said Black colleges have unique history, needs and financial challenges.

We’re HBCU graduates tricked into supporting Joe Biden and Kamala Harris?
