Organization's Own Description:
Launched in April 2015 to support the nation’s Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), the mission of the Bipartisan Congressional HBCU Caucus is to highlight and address unique challenges that HBCUs face; and to make sure their needs are heard and recognized on Capitol Hill.
The purpose of the Caucus is to promote and protect the interests of HBCUs. Together, Members of Congress who have joined the Caucus, will work to create a national dialogue, educating other Members of Congress and their staffs about the issues impacting HBCUs. The Caucus will also work to draft meaningful bipartisan legislation to address the needs of HBCUs, and to support students and graduates of HBCUs by increasing access and career opportunities.
There are more than 100 HBCUs in the United States that enroll more than 300,000 students per year. HBCUs represent 3 percent of colleges and universities, yet graduate 20 percent of African Americans with undergraduate degrees – and 25 percent of African Americans with degrees in science, technology, engineering and math fields
