flag The Trump administration increased HBCU funding by 50% while cutting support for other minority-serving colleges, sparking debate over its racial equity motives.

flag The Trump administration has allocated $495 million in new funding for Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) and tribal colleges, a 50% increase for fiscal year 2025, to expand endowments, upgrade facilities, and support students and faculty. flag While HBCU leaders welcome the investment, experts express skepticism, noting the administration simultaneously cut funding for Hispanic-serving institutions and sought to eliminate diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs at predominantly white colleges. flag Critics argue the selective support for HBCUs appears politically motivated, aiming to project nonracist intentions without endorsing broader racial equity efforts, as HBCUs are open to all students and do not use racial quotas.
