#historically black colleges and universities

[dontmeantobepoliticalbut]

On Wednesday, Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions (HELP) Chair Bernie Sanders (I-Vermont) and Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-Washington) reintroduced a proposal to make higher education free at public schools for most Americans — and pay for it by taxing Wall Street.

The College for All Act of 2023 would massively change the higher education landscape in the U.S., taking a step toward Sanders’s long-standing goal of making public college free for all. It would make community college and public vocational schools tuition-free for all students, while making any public college and university free for students from single-parent households making less than $125,000 or couples making less than $250,000 — or, the vast majority of families in the U.S.

The bill would increase federal funding to make tuition free for most students at universities that serve non-white groups, such as Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs). It would also double the maximum award to Pell Grant recipients at public or nonprofit private colleges from $7,395 to $14,790.

If passed, the lawmakers say their bill would be the biggest expansion of access to higher education since 1965, when President Lyndon B. Johnson signed the Higher Education Act, a bill that would massively increase access to college in the ensuing decades. The proposal would not only increase college access, but also help to tackle the student debt crisis.

“Today, this country tells young people to get the best education they can, and then saddles them for decades with crushing student loan debt. To my mind, that does not make any sense whatsoever,” Sanders said. “In the 21st century, a free public education system that goes from kindergarten through high school is no longer good enough. The time is long overdue to make public colleges and universities tuition-free and debt-free for working families.”

Debt activists expressed support for the bill. “This is the only real solution to the student debt crisis: eliminate tuition and debt by fully funding public colleges and universities,” the Debt Collective wrote on Wednesday. “It’s time for your member of Congress to put up or shut up. Solve the root cause and eliminate tuition and debt.”

These initiatives would be paid for by several new taxes on Wall Street, found in a separate bill reintroduced by Sanders and Rep. Barbara Lee (D-California) on Wednesday. The Tax on Wall Street Speculation would enact a 0.5% tax on stock trades, a 0.1% tax on bonds and a 0.005% tax on trades on derivatives and other types of assets.

The tax would primarily affect the most frequent, and often the wealthiest, traders and would be less than a typical fee for pension management for working class investors, the lawmakers say. It would raise up to $220 billion in the first year of enactment, and over $2.4 trillion over a decade. The proposal has the support of dozens of progressive organizations as well as a large swath of economists.

“Let us never forget: Back in 2008, middle class taxpayers bailed out Wall Street speculators whose greed, recklessness and illegal behavior caused millions of Americans to lose their jobs, homes, life savings, and ability to send their kids to college,” said Sanders. “Now that giant financial institutions are back to making record-breaking profits while millions of Americans struggle to pay rent and feed their families, it is Wall Street’s turn to rebuild the middle class by paying a modest financial transactions tax.”

LAND GRANT AND UNIVERSITIES: A PRIMER

The history of land grant colleges of agriculture is intertwined with the history of  higher education for U.S. citizens of average means.

The land grant system began in 1862 with the passage of the Morrill Land Grant  Act. This law  gave states public lands provided the lands be sold or used for profit and the proceeds used to establish one college—hence, land grant colleges—that  would teach agriculture and the mechanical arts.

The Morrill Land Grant Act of 1862 can be read in its entirety here.

Land grants status for the establishment of colleges of agriculture and mechanical arts was also later given to U.S. territories and the District of Columbia. The legislative mandate for these land grant colleges helped extend higher education to broad segments of the U.S. population.

In 1889, many Land Grant colleges were largely segregated.  In an effort to seek Federal funding, these Public Universities were required to integrate.  However, Public Universities in most states responded by legislating new agricultural and mechanical arts colleges for Black citizens rather than enhance existing institutions  through integrated programs. The Act passed in 1890 gave rise to a network of often poorly financed colleges known as the “1890” Land Grant Universities. This Act, passed by Congress in 1890, provided for annual appropriations to each state to support its land grant college.

The Morrill Land Grant Act of 1890 can be read in its entirety here.

In addition to appropriating funding, a state could escape this provision, however, if separate institutions were maintained and the funds divided in a "just," but not    necessarily equal, manner.

Thus the 1890 act led to the establishment of land grant institutions for African Americans.

Today there are 19 “1890” institutions - including one private institution, Tuskegee University - located primarily in the southeast. In addition to being part of the land   grant system, these 1890 Universities are among the more than 100 Historically Black Colleges and Universities in the United States.

The Morrill Land Grant Act of 1862 can be read in its entirety here.
