For over a century, Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) have had a tradition of working to give every enrolled student the broadest opportunity for academic proficiency and success. Today, HBCUs are working to develop innovative instructional approaches and academic programs (including the use of new technologies) that are well-suited to meet the needs of their students and communities, while ... promoting social change in the United States and around the world. Senate Democrats believe that strong federal support for HBCUs is warranted given their historic and current importance to nearly a half million students.
