Hispanics went for Trump and now he’s breaking their institutions. The White House will no longer defend grants to Hispanic Serving Colleges.

Disagree no education should be financially independent, I'd argue secondary school should be paid for everyone like primary

Problem is Americans are against a massive socialist state..
Forgetting theyre already getting taxed to hell, may as well have those taxes pay for higher education and healthcare..but its student loans and no healthcare for most.

which would accomplish what, making that degree almost worthless? making college the new high school diploma? i don't want to pay for kids spending 4 years drinking and getting a bullshyt ass degree in art studies :camby:

college loans should be given at 0% interest, not the 7% they're at now. but if you want to go to college, you should pay for it. college is not necessary; it's a choice

there's a middle ground between the current systems, and "free everything". we need to find that middle ground. most americans can get behind that

but i'm not gonna side with these lunatic communists who want free shyt for everyone, AND to open the southern border to the entire world :mjlol: delusion doesn't even begin to describe it

As much ridicule as they deserve for this, it’s not funny because we ALL know he’s coming after Black Americans next..

It was always the end goal
Hasn’t that already happened? Hasn’t his administration stopped federal funding to HBCU’s?

The good life 😎
I wonder if this lays the groundwork to defund HBCUs on the grounds of discrimination. A (predominantly white) institution might argue they miss out on millions in govt funding that is designated for HBCUs.
More than likely. If anything, it also really targets any measure that shows preference, racial or otherwise, at any college. The issue with hispanic serving institutions that a lot seem to be missing is that the label can be tossed on any college with a certain percentage of hispanic students. So a regular public school could be considered a hispanic serving institution. With this, they could, conceivably, further target schools on the percentage of black people within them. This is my main concern. The fact that hispanic, often said to not be a race, can be targeted like this is interesting and even more concerning for black people by extension.

The Truth
Hasn’t that already happened? Hasn’t his administration stopped federal funding to HBCU’s?
In the spring of 2025, the Trump administration began terminating or cutting certain federal grants to Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) and other institutions, though no comprehensive termination of all federal funding has occurred
. These cuts are linked to the administration's nationwide rollback of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs.
While federal funding has not been fully stopped, specific cuts and policy shifts have created significant concern among HBCU leaders.

"Hispanics went for Trump and now...."...this is a borderline clickbait narrative. Trump lost the Hispanic vote. He lost by a smaller margin than previous republican presidents but he still lost. The same way more blacks voted for Trump than past republican presidents but you wouldn't say "blacks went for Trump". You can make the point without being factually disingenuous.

FBA are already excluded, FBAs do not recieve the same free money these Hispanics and other immigrants get.

Hispanics and other immigrants double and tripple dip in receiving money all the time. Hispanics recieve money from the NAACP, can you show me FBA students receiving money from LULAC:

(Not all pictured)

Ten high school graduates were awarded San Angelo NAACP's higher education scholarships this past month.

Scholarships ranged from $500-$750, with a total of roughly $6,500 being awarded this year, said Garland Freeze, president of the local chapter.

Winners were announced at the May 5 NAACP meeting.

Scholarships are open to any student graduating from San Angelo ISD, local private schools or home schools who are seeking a higher education.

To earn a scholarship, students do not have to attend only a university, but can also pursue a higher education at a community college or trade school, Freeze said.

To learn more about the NAACP's annual scholarships, visit sanangelonaacp.org.

Scholarship recipients are:

Dylan Arrott
Alexia Alejos Guerra
MaKalyn Huffman
Alexandrea E. Maskill
Lauryn Meadows
Kalynn Rodriguez
Erynne Turner
Mary Kate Vann
Josh Vetter
Coltyn Michael Wagnon

That’s one organization. You know there’s hundreds of other groups/organizations that do scholarships? :skip:

The problem is Americans are idiots and intellectually dishonest. They’ve been utilizing successful socialist programs for decades: social security, housing subsidies, Medicare/medicaid unemployment insurance, public fukking education.
Taxed to hell? Europeans are taxed to hell. US is near the bottom of OECD countries.

The lack of knowledge in this thread as to what a hispanic-serving institution is speaks volumes. I'm actually shocked. :why:

I’m not. People on this forum live in a bubble. I said months ago, laugh now but we (black people) are next.

It’s almost like this administration wants to create conditions for high crime to put high numbers of certain groups back in prison.

HBCU's should be financially independent of the federal govt..no reason why not.
Impossible. Primarily for 3.reasons

1) many hbcu(s) like Howard or Tuskegee are literally built on federal land meaning the feds have a lot of leverage. Or have land in a trust by a racist state govt, which must be kept in check by the feds(most of the rest of hbcu(s))

2) The point of universities is research. Almost all the research is directly or indirectly funded by the federal govt. Even industry research from Facebook or Moderna is often based on indirect contracts with DARPA or the CDC. Usually, The excess from federal govt funds subsidizes the other programs of the University. Student tuition isn't what funds these schools.

Furthermore, Professors get much of their pay dependent on how many federal grants they can get for their lab. Their grants pay a big chunk of their salary, not student tuition. For example NIH k grants and MIRA awards pay almost 75% of a medical professor's salary.



3) In theory, you could self fund a lot of this , but it would very quickly price out most of the black population if they had to foot the full bill for college facilities, admin, and professors. Most students are unaware that a big chunk of of their education is subsidized.


Some groups like the Mormons have managed to run schools independently with entities like BYU or Ensign College , but they could only accomplish this because they had a mandatory tax(tithe) which their people religiously pay. Good luck getting this type of cooperation from black people.
