Yeah the HBCU can't compete with the in state tuition cost. It just sucks for students that want to attend but can't because they aren't priced affordable.

Another blue state democratic governor and legislature using government to specifically support HBCU and help black peoples education prospects yet the bothsides bad faith charlatans will continue to shill for the racist republicans and the fringe GOP. The stronger HBCUs are the better prospects black people get educated and are able to get jobs that are high earning

You have to stop taking those members seriously.
"Both sides are the same" has been proven to be a tactic used to appeal to disillusioned voters. Republicans realized that their platform and policies would not attract certain demographics, so they tried to neutralize as many of them as possible.
Since the last presidential election, the outgoing pres cosigned a storming of the capital /attempted coup, Conservative majority Supreme Court has overturned Roe v Wade(among other decisions). And elected Republican officials have openly tried to turn the clock back to pre 1954 America.
Nobody on here should take grown men saying "both sides are the same"seriously in 2023.

S.F. partners with Black colleges on new summer programs. Can it bring a satellite campus to downtown?
Feb 2, 2024
San Francisco is partnering with historically Black colleges and universities to bring educational programs to the city this summer as local leaders seek to attract a permanent satellite campus to help revitalize downtown.
The schools, known as HBCUs, will use existing student housing from the University of San Francisco and classroom space from San Francisco State University for the summer programs. Topics will include science, math, environmental justice and journalism. A 20-student financial tech accelerator program and eight-student program with the Department of Police Accountability are also planned. UCSF will also work with Black colleges and universities on mental health mentoring, training and internships.
The list of schools involved hasn’t been finalized, but the city is in talks with Charles R. Drew University, Howard University, Morehouse College, Morgan State University, Morris Brown College, Tuskegee University and the University of the District of Columbia. Some college representatives attended an event Friday at the War Memorial Performing Arts Center that was focused on the effort, with city departments and Bay Area tech companies also in attendance to tout the city’s powerhouse economy and educational opportunities.
The city’s Human Rights Commission, which focuses on anti-discrimination efforts and racial equity, is leading the effort, called “Black 2 San Francisco.”
“After many years of planning, and months of seeding and working to create meaningful partnerships, all the stakeholders are together to explore how we can connect San Francisco to the incredible talent that has historically been cultivated and supported by HBCUs,” said Sheryl Davis, executive director of the commission, in a statement.
City officials hope bringing a permanent campus to downtown would help inject new energy and residents to the area, which has been hit hard by remote work. More than a third of the city’s office space is vacant, a record high. However, there are no HBCUs west of Texas, and San Francisco real estate costs remain some of the highest in the country, even after receding during the pandemic.
“In San Francisco, we are working to build partnerships that strengthen our leadership as a center of education, innovation and opportunity,” Mayor London Breed said in a statement. “By bringing HBCUs to our City, we can not only create a connection to empower our next generation of leaders, but we can also contribute to the revitalization of our City.”
Separately, the University of California and UC Berkeley are in talks with the city about a potential new campus

Sac State’s launch of Black Honors College heralds first-in-the-nation initiative
February 12, 2024
Sacramento State is recruiting students for the inaugural class for the newly created Black Honors College, the first institution of its kind in the nation.
The college is specifically designed for all students interested in Black history, life, and culture. It will start accepting students in fall 2024.
The University’s announcement of the college’s creation coincides with Black History Month, which the University is celebrating throughout February. One of the month’s key events is Super Sunday, on Feb. 25. That day, campus leaders, including President Luke Wood, will visit Sacramento-area churches that serve predominantly Black congregations to extoll the value of higher education and encourage young people to attend Sac State.
In creating the Black Honors College, Sac State is taking initiative to support the CSU’s efforts to advance Black student success. A key goal is to boost Black graduation rates and improve Black student enrollment and retention.
The University will provide details to the public about the college during a community meeting at 5 p.m. Feb. 19 in Library Room 11.
Sac State enrolls more Black and African American students than any other university in the CSU system, and Wood said the University should lead the way in ensuring that they succeed in college and beyond.
“While we have the highest population of Black students, we are in the bottom quartile for success, and have been for many years,” and the Black Honors College will seek to reverse that trend, he said.
The college will offer high-achieving students of all races, cultures, and majors a comprehensive curriculum focusing on the Black and African American experience.
It will feature specialized general education courses with smaller classes, and faculty members who have a record of success in serving Black and African American students.
“The Black Honors College is designed to create a pathway for our Black students at Sacramento State that has never existed, to uplift our scholars, and to help them persist to graduation,” said Boatamo “Ati” Mosupyoe, the college’s dean of students and chief academic officer. Ruth Williams, previously associate director of Sac State’s DEGREES Project, is staff director.
“There will be an intentional focus on authentic mentorship to adjust students to the rigors of college, paid internship opportunities to give students tangible experience, and elite co-curricular education to enhance their overall college experience,” Mosupyoe said.

Considering the recent Supreme Court decisions, how long is this even going to be legal to call yourself an HBCU?
Not that most of the racists would want to interfere with HBCU's, as they prefer Black folk to be segregated off into their own spaces as much as possible. But all it would take is a small collective of empowered a$$holes to get bitter at HBCU's for one reason or another, and there's no telling what this Supreme Court would do.

California Community Colleges Board Helps Celebrate HBCU Week in California
Aug 13, 2024
Members of the California Community Colleges Board of Governors and lawmakersThe California Community Colleges Board of Governors, lawmakers, and students made way to the state capitol this week to support a resolution to make the fourth week of September Historically Black Colleges and Universities Week in California.
HBCUs were established in the United States during the 19th century as a result of restrictive policies against Black student admission through legitimized segregation and racial discrimination. These institutions still carry a legacy of cultural awareness and inclusivity for students.
The resolution, ARC 222, which was introduced by Assemblymember Akilah Weber (D-La Mesa), recognizes the significant role that HBCUs play to support the success of black students and will celebrate that on an annual basis.
While California is not home to an HBCU, an agreement signed on March 17, 2015, gives community college students access to the California Community Colleges Transfer Guarantee Pathway. This program allows eligible students guaranteed admission to 39 partner HBCUs.
“HBCUs serve a paramount purpose in higher education for Black students and the economic mobility of Black Americans,” said Pamela Haynes, California Community Colleges Board of Governors member. “Celebrating this is vital as the California Community Colleges affirm our commitment to equity in success, support and access.”
“Our colleges serve the most-diverse group of students in higher education and if we can continue our work with HBCUs to provide a guaranteed, seamless transition to a top college or university, then we’re truly creating a system that works for all students,” she added.
