The Trump administration has announced significant cuts to federal grant funding for colleges and universities that serve minority populations, including Hispanic, Black, and Indigenous students. This decision impacts numerous institutions across the country, with at least 171 colleges in California set to lose millions. Grants totaling $350 million aimed at supporting Hispanic-Serving Institutions (HSIs) and other minority-serving colleges have been cancelled, prompting strong backlash from educators and lawmakers. Affected institutions, such as the University of Alaska and several colleges in San Antonio, are bracing for substantial funding losses that could hinder their ability to serve diverse student populations. Critics, including members of Congress and educational advocates, argue that these cuts reinforce systemic inequities and may deprive many students of vital educational resources.
