The bill, the HBCU Propelling Agency Relationships Towards a New Era of Results for Students (PARTNERS) Act, was led by Sen. Tim Scott (R-SC) in the Senate – among others – and Rep. Alma Adams (D-NC) in the House. Vice President-elect Kamala Harris is a cosponsor.
“Once again, I say as emphatically as possible that much more that must be done for HBCUs before this Congress gavels out,” said Dr. Michael L. Lomax, president and CEO of the United Negro College Fund. “In this next round of stimulus, HBCUs need more relief, like the funding found in the CARES Act. Additionally, institutions with loans from the HBCU Capital Finance program must receive permanent relief.”
