Senator Warnock secures $1.2 Billion for HBCU's

[2legit]

Washington, D.C. – Today, U.S. Senator Reverend Raphael Warnock (D-GA) secured a key victory for Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) and Minority Serving Institutions (MSIs) to build their institutional research capacity. The House of Representatives passed the America COMPETES Act earlier today, including a key amendment introduced by Congresswoman Adams, which funds these programs at $1.2 billion over five years. The amendment was added to the En Bloc amendments following the Senator’s letter to House leadership urging $750 million in funding for these programs over five years. This critical funding will help create jobs by enabling these institutions to hire new administrative staff, train faculty on the grant process, and increase their ability to move products to the market, either on their own or through industry partnerships.

We've tracked the recent fight for funding by members of the CBC for months here

Subcommittee Hearing on HBCUs 10/06/21


You said that you were politically engaged, and surely education is a key issue for you. Your thoughts?

Easy he won’t mention it

 

[King Sun]

Warnock is okay in my books. He's one of the only few dem people in GA that deserves the benefit of the doubt

 

[BiggWebb79]

But Tariq said Warnock would undermind Black people and do nothing for them

 

[Neo. The Only. The One.]

But we don't want him to win cause Tariq said that FBA should want Herschel Walker to win

Same. Even got accepted to Morehouse and FAMU. Generally try not to look back on things as regrets but that I can comfortably say was a misstep.

This is fantastic. With all the mess regarding housing conditions that has come to light it's needed(so is some oversight so those funds are allocated properly).

 

[BigMoneyGrip]

That’s why I said Warnock will wash Walker.. I don’t think Walker will show up to debate… black folk in GA better stand in line to vote no matter how long it takes
