Democrats are talking more about how failures happen across the higher education system, not just at for-profit colleges — their traditional punching bag. So can they agree with Republicans on new standards for all colleges?

Under the FUTURE Act, HBCUs will continue to receive $85 million in mandatory funding, based on existing formula funding, and PBIs will continue to be eligible for a competitive grant program funded at $15 million, with each school eligible for grants up to $600,000. TMCF represents the 47 publicly-supported HBCUs and PBIs.

TMCF partnered with AASCU and MLI, during their 2018 annual meeting to host the HBCU Sustainability Summit resulting in the white paper being released today.

I am proud to see our TMCF Board continue to attract some of the most impressive corporate executives who are committed to diversity, higher education and creating meaningful opportunities for the students we proudly represent in our 47 member-school network.

First and foremost, sustaining and growing student enrollment is the key to a brighter future for HBCUs, according to educational leaders who participated in discussions that led to the report.
