In case you had any doubt, the left is not abandoning their agenda in education. If anything, they’re doubling down on it.

Biden administration announces new $93 million equity plan for ‘minority-serving institutions’
On Dec. 8, the Biden administration announced a $93 million grant through the Department of Education to fund historically black colleges and universities (HBCUs), tribally controlled colleges and universities (TCCUs), and minority-serving institutions (MSIs), claiming they are “underserved.”
This financial support expands on the already existing $25 billion that the administration has allocated to HBCUs, TCCUs, and MSIs since Biden entered office in 2021.
“The Biden-Harris Administration recognizes the urgency of this moment in higher education and that creating opportunities for students of color and other underserved students to succeed in today’s most cutting-edge fields has never mattered more,” Secretary of Education Miguel Cardona said.
This funding will strive to “close equity gaps” between minority colleges and other institutions of higher education, Cardona noted.
The $93 million funding will expand to the University of California, Berkeley, meeting the criteria for an “Asian American and Native American Pacific Islander-Serving Institution” based on its student demographics.
UC Berkeley will receive $3 million in grants as part of the program, although its overall endowment sits at over $7 billion.
The programs supporting these grants are the Research and Development Infrastructure (RDI) program and the Postsecondary Student Success Grant (PSSG) program, which “aims to equitably improve postsecondary student outcomes, including retention, transfer, credit accumulation, and completion.”
“Because of their central role in educating underserved students, including students of color, it is important for HBCUs, TCCUs, and MSIs to excel in research activity that can impact funding, faculty and student recruitment, student research opportunities, and promote diversity in graduate students and faculty at an institution,” the Education Department’s statement reads.

CA is majority non-white state nowadays. Thereby all CA colleges and universities could potentially become eligible. This is direct one way transfer of wealth from white minority to non-white majority. BLM is such a fraud.
If you really want to go to college, go abroad.
You’ll definitely learn more.
And you’ll probably save money.
But, but.,.! No football teams! No Styrofoam majors! What about Homecoming?!?
/S
Foreigners mostly regard that stuff as weird. Out-of-place. Juvenile.
I must be a foreigner because I’ve always thought that stuff was juvenile. Even back when I was a juvenile.
Or you just have had your head screwed on straight all along.
For most Americans, four years at an American college is just a colossal money pit. /smh
Are not all alleged “higher education” institutions throughout the world wok?
No.
Prior to the creation of the Dept of Education America had the highest education rate. Once the DOE was created education started slipping. The USA is number 24 in the world as of last year. The DOE needs to be disbanded as education should be taken care of at local levels.
Everything the federal government touches turns to shit.
Harry Browne wrote a book about it.
“Government doesn’t work. It can’t deliver the mail on time, it doesn’t keep our cities safe, it doesn’t educate our children properly.”
Anybody notice in biden photos, when he squints his eyes he looks like the banjo player in the movie Deliverance?
I am a graduate engineer, and have held a PE license since 1973. The only time I have used, in work, anything I learned in college was when I helped a draftsman with his engineering school homework.
I do wish, however, that I had received some classes in handling money and investing.
