Transforming HBCU Education: The Impact of New Executive Order

On April 23, President Trump enacted a new executive order aimed at advancing excellence and innovation within historically Black colleges and universities (HBCUs). This order creates a dedicated White House Initiative on HBCUs, focusing on enhancing their abilities to provide exceptional educational opportunities. Key areas include fostering private sector collaborations, bolstering institutional development, and preparing students for thriving industries while implementing the HBCU PARTNERS ACT to promote research quality, affordability, retention, and student pathways to higher education.
