Opinion by Tony Allen and Glenda Glover: Historically Black colleges should no longer have to do more with less
President Biden announced in September, with goals of increasing HBCU capacity to provide the highest-quality, low-cost education to their students. We are focused on elevating public awareness of the successful HBCU model, and why it is more important than ever before to invest fully in such a major part of the United States’ future.1. Fund technology and physical enhancements that match the cutting-edge learning environments in higher education.
4. Preserve and grow the HBCUs — public and private — with a particular emphasis on smaller institutions, which provide continuing education and skills training to an even broader population of students. The Biden administration has already invested $5.8 billion in the HBCU community. Education Secretary Miguel Cardona recently proposed raising maximum Pell Grant awards by $2,175 and investing $752 million to “enhance institutional capacities” at HBCUs and other minority-serving and/or low-resource institutions. That is a significant step, but it cannot be the last.
This is a bipartisan issue: Democrats and Republicans agree on the need to contain the costs of higher education while improving outcomes. But real action will come only with public support. That’s why we’re taking our case outside, demonstrating to American families, employers, potential investors and political leaders that the HBCU model for containing operating costs and reducing student debt without compromising quality should become the national standard for higher education.
