Thurgood Marshall College Fund (TMCF) is pleased President Trump’s FY18 Comprehensive Budget preserves funding for Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs).
“In the first four months of this presidency, the Trump administration has been far more responsive to our community than the past administration,” Taylor said. “I, for one, judge people by what they do — not what they say.”
The Thurgood Marshall College Fund (TMCF) appointed World Wrestling Entertainment, Inc. (NYSE: WWE) Executive Vice President of Corporate Strategy & Analytics Tandy O’Donoghue to its Board of Directors, announced Jim Clifton—TMCF Board Chairman and President of Gallup.
“We’re simply not able to pick and choose whom we engage with. We saw firsthand a couple months ago how positive strategic engagement paid off when I worked with our member-school presidents and chancellors to ensure that their federal budget dollars would not be cut in President Trump’s first budget proposal.”
Mr. Taylor suggests that HBCUs and their advocates need to begin planning what the institutions need to look like 50 years from now, to ensure they are keeping up with the constant changes in the generations to come.
