Bill > SRes49

This resolution designates the week beginning February 3, 2025, as "National Tribal Colleges and Universities Week" to recognize the important role of Tribal Colleges and Universities (TCUs) in higher education. The resolution highlights that there are 34 TCUs operating across 90 campuses in 16 states, serving students from over 230 federally recognized Indian Tribes. These institutions have a unique relationship with the federal government and provide high-quality postsecondary educational opportunities for American Indians, Alaska Natives, and individuals living in isolated and economically challenged areas. The resolution emphasizes that TCUs offer education grounded in cultural traditions, indigenous languages, and prepare students to succeed in a competitive global workforce. By having open enrollment policies that welcome both Native and non-Native students, these colleges contribute to enhancing Indian communities and enriching the United States as a whole. The resolution calls on the people of the United States and interested groups to observe the week with appropriate activities and programs that demonstrate support for Tribal Colleges and Universities.
