Presidential order aims to help minority-serving institutions access government funding programmes
An effort to make the voices of Historically Black Colleges and Universities in the United States heard in government was announced by US president Joe Biden on 3 September.
In an executive order, Biden established an initiative under the Department of Education to provide advice to the president “on advancing equity, excellence and opportunity at HBCUs and for the communities they principally serve” by removing barriers faced by such institutions.
