AI Summary
This bill, the Fostering Leadership and Inclusion by Growing HBCU Training Act of 2020 or the FLIGHT Act, would require the Secretary of Defense to carry out two pilot programs. The first pilot program would assess the feasibility of creating partnerships between satellite or extension ROTC units at Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) and minority-serving institutions and nearby military installations to reduce barriers to ROTC participation. The second pilot program, in consultation with the Secretary of Homeland Security, would assess the feasibility of providing financial assistance to ROTC and Coast Guard College Student Pre-Commissioning Initiative members at these institutions for flight training. The bill also requires the Secretary to establish evaluation metrics and submit reports on the pilot programs to Congress.
