Cutting off Hispanic-Serving Institution funding pulls the rug out from under students who depend on these programs for opportunity. With 171 HSIs in California, this decision harms our colleges and our future. sfchronicle.com/california/art…

Joint Statement from Tri-Caucus Chairs on Trump’s Termination of Grants for Minority-Serving Institutions:

During National Hispanic-Serving Institutions Week, the Administration announced it will cut $350 million from programs that support colleges like Hispanic-Serving Institutions (HSIs), Predominantly Black Institutions, and Native American-Serving Nontribal Institutions—schools that have opened doors to higher education for under-resourced students. Michael Pillera @lawyerscomm, responded: “This week should be about celebrating Hispanic-Serving Institutions and the opportunities they create for students. Instead, the Administration is cutting $350 million from Minority-Serving Institution (MSI) programs—hurting colleges that expand opportunity for under-resourced students and weakening equity in higher education.” Congress must act now to protect schools and students that urgently need these funds. We urge everyone to call their Members of Congress at 202-224-3121 and demand this critically-needed funding be restored. The Lawyers’ Committee will continue to stand with students and institutions fighting for equity in higher education. #HigherEd #CivilRights #HSIsWeek
