AI Summary: This is a policy document, specifically an Executive Order establishing the White House Initiative on Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs). This regulation aims to support and enhance HBCUs by creating a new initiative housed in the Executive Office of the President. The initiative will work with various partners to increase HBCUs' capacity to provide high-quality education, focusing on two primary missions: increasing private sector involvement in strengthening HBCUs and enhancing their capabilities to serve young adults. Key activities include supporting institutional development, improving infrastructure, providing professional development opportunities for students, fostering research partnerships, addressing student success and retention, and promoting affordable degree attainment. The order also establishes a President's Board of Advisors on HBCUs within the Department of Education, which will provide guidance and recommendations. The Executive Director of the Initiative will submit annual progress reports to the President, and the order revokes a previous executive order on the same topic from 2021. The initiative is designed to help HBCUs advance educational excellence, economic opportunity, and national competitiveness by supporting these important educational institutions.
