# Letter From The Chairman to the President

September 25, 2007

The Honorable George W. Bush

President

The White House

Washington, DC 20500

Dear Mr. President:

I am writing on behalf of the President's Board of Advisors on
Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) to express our
gratitude for allowing us to serve you and the nation, and to transmit
our 2004-05 annual report, *Fulfilling the Covenant―The Way Forward.*
This is the third report of the current Board of Advisors that you
appointed when you signed Executive Order 13256 on Feb. 12, 2002. In
addition to fulfilling the board's mandate by providing 2004-05 data on
the performance of the 32 agencies designated by the secretary of
education which requires them to submit an annual report, this report
also provides a longitudinal view of agency compliance from two other
perspectives: a five-year perspective of agency performance from
2001-05, and a longer-term view of the past decade. We have highlighted
the performance of three agencies with dedicated HBCU programs during
the most recent five-year period.

*Fulfilling the Covenant―The Way Forward* also includes two special
focus issues that we call to your attention. The first describes the
federal government's response to the needs of HBCUs in Louisiana and
Mississippi after the 2005 Gulf Coast hurricanes, especially Hurricane
Katrina. The report makes special note of the critical role played by
the U.S. Department of Education. The second issue is a matter of great
concern about the differential treatment of the HBCU land grants
compared to that of the Traditionally White Institutional (TWI) land
grants in 17 states in the South and Southeast. The latter issue, in our
view, deserves your attention and a carefully fashioned remedy.

Finally, we have again emphasized the importance of HBCU capacity
building and of having dedicated HBCU programs in the designated
departments and agencies. Such resources would constitute a meaningful
enhancement strategy for providing the institutions, their students, the
states and communities in which they are located, and the nation a
return on America's investment in this important sector within American
higher education.

We applaud your leadership on behalf of the HBCUs, and welcome your
support for our recommendations to improve agency accountability and
performance during the remainder of your term.

Sincerely,

Louis W. Sullivan, M.D.

Chairman

## Acknowledgments

The 2004-05 annual report of the President's Board of Advisors on
Historically Black Colleges and Universities to the president of the
United States was prepared for the board's review and approval by the
staff of the White House Initiative on Historically Black Colleges and
Universities. The board members have reviewed very carefully department
and agency data. They have also looked at the analysis of the data and
find it to provide a fair and accurate picture of designated agency
progress in meeting the goals of Executive Order 13256. The board
appreciates the assistance and cooperation provided by the secretary of
education, the staff of the assistant secretary for the Office of
Postsecondary Education, and the associate commissioner for
postsecondary studies of the National Center for Education Statistics in
the Institute of Education Science in support of the board's efforts to
provide a timely annual report.

The board is especially grateful for the White House Initiative on
HBCUs, and the diligent and dedicated work of the staff. Finally, we
take this opportunity to also recognize Earl S. Hayes for his two
decades of exceptional service to the White House Initiative on HBCUs
and his extraordinary commitment to the nation's HBCUs that spans more
than 30 years. The HBCU community owes him a debt of gratitude for the
contributions he made in expediting the mission of White House
Initiative office.

# Executive Summary

The President's Board of Advisors on Historically Black Colleges and
Universities (HBCUs), appointed by George W. Bush, has completed its
third annual report under presidential Executive Order 13256. The annual
report for fiscal years 2004-05, *Fulfilling the Covenant―The Way
Forward,* not only details the performance of the 32 designated federal
agencies and departments during 2004-05, but also presents a five-year
perspective on several of those agencies and departments, including the
performance of three model agencies with dedicated HBCU programs. In
addition, the annual report offers a longer-range view of agency
progress over the decade 1995-2005. The annual report updates the
assessment of the progress of the designated agencies and departments
toward achieving the 10 percent goal first articulated in the 2001-02
annual report (i.e., the goal of ensuring that the total amount of
federal funds awarded to all HBCUs equals 10 percent of the total amount
of federal funds awarded to all institutions of higher education, or
IHEs).

The board believes that three matters deserve special attention by the
president, the secretary of education and the heads of the designated
departments and agencies.

1.  Annual increases in the amounts of federal dollars awarded to the
    HBCU community, including the percentage of funds awarded through
    federal grants, contracts and cooperative agreements, obscure the
    increasing gap in dollars awarded when compared to the dollars
    awarded to all institutions of higher education.

2.  Increasing the number of dedicated HBCU programs that are focused on
    capacity building, as defined in Section 6 of Executive Order 13256,
    is important to realizing the HBCU funding goal in the executive
    order and to close the gap between HBCUs and IHEs in the funding
    provided by the designated agencies.

3.  Critical steps must be taken both to strengthen agency
    accountability and enhance their performance, and to improve the
    White House Initiative on HBCUs, U.S. Department of Education and
    Office of Management and Budget (OMB) coordination to ensure better
    monitoring and oversight.

*Fulfilling the Covenant―The Way Forward* includes two special focus
issues in addition to the traditional assessment of agency performance
in increasing the amount of federal funds awarded to HBCUs: (1) a
description of the federal government's response to the needs of HBCUs
in Louisiana and Mississippi in the wake of hurricanes Katrina and Rita;
and (2) an assessment of the historical and present disparities in
funding provided to the traditionally white and historically black land
grant colleges and universities.

The President's Board of Advisors has purposefully limited the number of
recommendations in this annual report. The board focused on improving
its oversight of designated departments and agencies, as well as the
coordination of White House Initiative activities between the U.S.
Department of Education and OMB to improve overall agency performance in
support of HBCUs. Increasing the number of dedicated HBCU programs
focused on capacity building in the designated agencies has been deemed
the best route for increasing agency funding awards for these
institutions.

Currently, there are 32 departments and agencies designated by the
secretary of education for review and assessment of compliance with
Executive Order 13256 (See Appendix E). The board believes that this
number is too large, and should be reviewed and revised by the secretary
based on recommendations from the Board of Advisors. The board has
directed the executive director of the WHI to conduct a full review of
the current list of agencies and to evaluate their appropriateness and
effectiveness.

This review should be accomplished within 90 days and focus on: (1) the
agency's mission and function, and its consistency with the general
academic missions and purposes of HBCUs; (2) the extent of the agency's
procurement budget and the relationship of agency programs and missions
to the core academic missions of the HBCUs, or a significant cadre of
HBCUs; and (3) the existence of dedicated HBCU programs at the agency,
or presence or potential of the agency to assist HBCUs and enhance their
capacity building initiatives. The board is persuaded that the effective
and efficient oversight of designated agencies by the WHI staff and OMB
through the annual budget review process would improve if the number of
designated agencies were reduced. This reduction would enable the board
to focus more attention on those departments and agencies with the
greatest potential to contribute to the enhancement of HBCUs.

> The board will also explore several issues:

First, in addition to the WHI staff's review of the currently designated
departments and agencies using the factors outlined earlier, the Board
will consider the agencies' recent record of productivity in awarding
funds to the HBCUs, when making its recommendations to the secretary of
education.

Second, agency reporting may be consolidated, where possible, to
facilitate reporting by the agency and budgetary review by OMB. For
example, while some agencies independently report to the Board of
Advisors, their reports have been consolidated in the congressional
appropriations process or by law, and may be reviewed in OMB by the same
budget personnel.

Third, each designated agency should report all data and information to
WHI staff electronically, thereby permitting the board to determine
easily which agencies are making progress in increasing HBCU
institutional capacity building awards. Moreover, the WHI staff is
encouraged to explore the alignment of its current "clusters" to achieve
a realignment of agencies with like missions or academic programs
relative to HBCUs missions. The WHI staff currently works with five
clusters of federal agencies. Each of the participating agencies under
this federal program has been assigned to participate under one of the
five clusters: Science and Technology, Social and Human Services,
Education and Humanities, International, and Business.

## Introduction

President George W. Bush signed Executive Order 13256 on Feb. 12, 2002.
This was the fifth successive executive order requiring selected
executive departments and agencies to increase expendituresthrough
grants, contracts, cooperative agreements and agency-designed innovative
strategiesfor the nation's Historically Black Colleges and Universities
(HBCUs). Presidents Jimmy Carter (Executive Order 12232), Ronald Reagan
(Executive Order 12320), George H.W. Bush (Executive Order 12677), and
William J. Clinton (Executive Order 12876) all signed presidential
executive orders^1^ encouraging federal departments and agencies to
increase their support of HBCUs at a level that would enhance their
capacity to benefit from all agency programs and activities.

While modeled on those previous executive orders, Executive Order 13256
provides the strongest framework for achieving the stated goal of
increasing funding for America's HBCUs, and enhancing their capacity to
benefit from a more equitable distribution of federal resources when
compared with their Traditionally White Institution (TWI) counterparts.
Executive Order 13256 incorporates two key features intended to enhance
its effectiveness: (1) premised on the concept first included in
Executive Order 12677, a strong Board of Advisors with representation
from present and former HBCU presidents and chancellors; and (2) a
critical new role for the Office of Management and Budget (OMB),
designed to encourage and monitor agency and department compliance with
the executive order as a part of the agency's budget submission (Section
4).

Since becoming chairman of the President's Board of Advisors (board),
Dr. Louis W. Sullivan has sought to improve the responsiveness of the 32
designated federal departments and agencies and to increase their
commitment to fulfill the order's funding obligations. He visited with
secretaries, deputy secretaries and other key agency and department
officials and administrators to acquaint them with the provisions of the
executive order and to solicit their cooperation and compliance.
Chairman Sullivan's dedication to HBCUs and to the fulfillment of the
goals and objectives of the executive order, has had a positive impact
on securing the highest degree of agency cooperation with the White
House Initiative on Historically Black Colleges and Universities (WHI)
staff requests for agency performance data for 2004-05.

The board's evaluation of designated department and agency performance
is no longer based simply on dollars awarded to HBCUs, but also on the
types of programs and activities at HBCUs that those awards support. The
executive order's focus on capacity building should be reflected in each
agency's program performance. Therefore, department and agency programs
and activities should be oriented toward developing the capacity of
HBCUs to fulfill their missions of providing a quality education and an
equal opportunity to students through: (1) programs that enhance the
infrastructure required for high-quality instruction and critical
research; (2) funding for scholarships for undergraduate students,
fellowships for graduate and professional students, and internships and
externships that attract first-class students and assist HBCUs to retain
those students who may be less well-prepared for academic success in
college; (3) doctoral and postdoctoral faculty fellowships and faculty
stipends to support the acquisition of terminal degrees, summer
professional development opportunities, and *Intergovernmental Personnel
Act (IPA)* faculty-exchange programs between HBCUs and the designated
agencies that will enhance instruction and key academic program
development; (4) academic program development support designed to
strengthen existing programs, create new programs and increase graduates
in the physical and natural sciences, technology, engineering and
mathematics (STEM) fields of study, and to train teachers in these areas
and in less-commonly taught areas and in critical foreign languages; (5)
international finance, business and corporate management programs, with
emphasis on private-sector partnerships that engage HBCU business
schools, the departments of Treasury and Commerce as well as the U.S.
Small Business Administration, among others; (6) programs that enhance
the connectivity between HBCUs and their surrounding communities by
developing leadership skills in financing community development,
community service, and housing and community development; and (7)
training and professional skill-development programs that will prepare
HBCU graduates for 21st-century careers in public safety, homeland
security, information technology, health care, and other currently
critical fields.

*Fulfilling the Covenant―The Way Forward,* the President's Board of
Advisors 2004-05 annual performance report, again focuses attention on
the capacity building priority of the president's executive order.
Executive Order 13256 encourages the federal government to play a
meaningful role in facilitating more equity in funding allocations for
TWIs and HBCUs. Specifically, the board believes that concentrating its
efforts on those federal departments and agencies that can best
contribute to the capacity building goal of Executive Order 13256, and
focusing those agency programs and activities on the capacity building
objective will not only lead to an enhanced capacity in HBCUs to compete
for federal research grants, contracts and cooperative agreements, but
will also achieve a more equitable result in funding allocations from
all sources.

Stated differently, the board expects to review with the secretary of
education the number of agencies that are the focal point of the board's
direct oversight and annual accountability assessments. The board
believes it can strengthen its interaction and intervention with those
agencies that have not maximized HBCU participation in their programs
and activities by assisting them in designing dedicated HBCU programs
that build institutional capacity and are consistent with the mission
and function of the agency and the affected HBCUs. The board, based on
the experience reflected in *Building Capacity for a Bold New
Future2001-02 Annual Report* and *The Mission Continue2002-03 Annual
Report,* has agreed to restate and refine the means by which it reviews
and assesses agency performance.

With *Fulfilling the Covenant―The Way Forward,* this is the first time
that any HBCU Board of Advisors has issued three successive annual
reports evaluating designated agency performance. In our view, this is a
critical step forward because it represents consistency and quality in
the board's oversight which will increase agency accountability and
performance with respect to HBCU executive orders. The board also
believes it has the responsibility to continue to articulate the role of
HBCUs and to justify the need for continuing federal support for HBCUs
in 21st-century America.^2^

**Fiscal Year 2001-05 Awards to the\
**[]{#__RefHeading___Toc182965325 .anchor}**Historically Black Colleges
and Universities**

This report concentrates its assessment on designated agency and
department progress or, in some instances, the lack thereof. This report
also provides a perspective on the data presented for 2004-05 by
focusing policymakers, the secretary of education, the director of OMB
and various cabinet members and agency heads on a more longitudinal view
of the challenges and opportunities presented by the goals of Executive
Order 13256. Specifically, *Fulfilling the Covenant―The Way Forward*
includes both a five-year snapshot, or limited analysis of the Bush
administration's implementation of the order, and a wide-angle view of
agency performance under the HBCU executive orders during the past
decade.

2004-05 Funding Data: Department and Agency Awards to the HBCUs

Under Executive Order 13256, the secretary of education is tasked with
coordinating compliance efforts (Section 4) and administrating the White
House Initiative on HBCUs (Section 3). Sections 6 and 7 of the order
also authorize the secretary to designate those agencies that are
required to submit annual plans outlining their program compliance
efforts and to report on their annual performance to the Board of
Advisors through the WHI office in the U.S. Department of Education. The
board expects to recommend to the secretary, following a review by WHI
staff, possible modifications to the current list of designated agencies
in an effort to increase agency performance and accountability, as well
as to enhance the type of resources provided to HBCUs.

According to data provided to the White House Initiative on HBCUs for
fiscal years 2004 and 2005 by the federal departments and agencies
designated by the secretary, the funds awarded to the HBCUs increased
only modestly from **\$3,481,200,597 in FY 2004** to **\$3,498,783,478
in FY 2005, an increase of about \$17,582,881.** (See Appendix B, table
B-1.) However, because all designated agencies did not provide
performance reports in both years, this missing information may have
contributed to a sense of diminished growth in overall agency
performance. For example, neither the U.S. Department of Labor nor the
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) provided data for FY 2005,
and the U.S. Department of State, which did not report in FY 2004,
provided data that showed a substantial increase in its HBCU funding in
FY 2005, thus having an important impact on the overall funding picture
for those two years.

Despite the modest increase in the actual dollars awarded to HBCUs in FY
2005, the total for 2005 represents an actual decrease in the percentage
of federal funds awarded to all institutions of higher education.
Specifically, **in FY 2004, the 32 federal agencies covered by the
executive order awarded \$96,487,551,222 to all IHEs** **and made awards
totaling \$3,481,200,597 to HBCUs, or 3 percent of the IHE funds
awarded. In FY 2005, total awards to IHEs increased to
\$105,378,755,610, or by \$8,891,204,388, while the awards to HBCUs grew
by only \$17,582,881 or 3 percent of the IHE funds awarded.** (See
Appendix B, table B-2.)

A cursory examination of these data might initially lead to the
conclusion that overall federal budget constraints could have
precipitated reductions in the budgets of the affected departments and
agencies,^3^ thereby causing a negative impact on the amount of funding
available for research and development, special studies, competitive
grants, program administration and student assistance (loans, grants,
work study, etc.). However, through a closer analysis of the
comprehensive data developed by the White House Initiative staff, as
well as other data analyses completed over the past five years, the
general budget constraints cannot explain the lack of meaningful growth
in HBCU funding when compared to IHE funding. In fact, while overall IHE
and HBCU award dollars increased in both FY 2004 and 2005, the HBCU
percentage remained virtually static, thus creating a growing disparity
in the amount of funding awarded to HBCUs when compared to the IHEs.

There are several important developments that should be noted from this
analysis of the 2004-05 data. First, the overall responsiveness of the
32 designated federal departments and agencies increased dramatically in
fiscal years 2004 and 2005. Only one cabinet-level department (U.S.
Department of Labor) and two other agencies (U.S. Small Business
Administration and the National Endowment for the Humanities) that have
previously reported significant awards to HBCUs failed to report on
their performance for FY 2005. Two cabinet-level departments and
agencies (U.S. Department of State and the U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency) failed to provide performance reports in FY 2004. One new
cabinet-level department, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, made
its first annual report in FY 2004.

Several smaller agencies that previously declined to report performance
data, and whose missions, program management and service delivery
structures are not consistent with the thrust of the executive order
have now committed to finding creative ways to support the tenets of
this presidential mandate in a way that will not compromise the
integrity of the agency.

Second, eight departments and agencies, including the U.S. Department of
Homeland Security, reported increases in FY 2005 over the reported 2004
HBCU award levels. The \$1,113,415 awarded to HBCUs in FY 2005 by the
U.S. Department of Homeland Security represents a high watermark
compared to other departments or agencies without dedicated HBCU
programs. Several other departments made demonstrable progress in
increasing their awards to HBCUs between fiscal years 2004 and 2005
(table 1).

When the awards to HBCUs were compared to the awards made to all IHEs,
the percentage increases that these dollar amounts represented for HBCUs
was 3 percent for FY 2005. However, the HBCU increase at the Department
of Defense was most noteworthy, in light of a 1 percent increase
(\$27,227,949) in awards to the HBCUs, while the overall IHE funding
actually declined by \$29,740,344.

Third, there is cause for concern with regard to the decline in HBCU
awards by 14 departments and agencies, including several with dedicated
HBCU programs that may have been adversely impacted by the agency's
budget development or congressional appropriations processes. The board
is especially concerned about the rather marked decline in HBCU award
levels at the departments and agencies shown in table 2.

federal agencies under Presidential Executive Order 13256 to the White
House Initiative on Historically Black Colleges and Universities.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), the National Aeronautics and
Space Administration (NASA), and the U.S. Department of the Interior
have dedicated HBCU programs that have been highly successful in
contributing to the missions of the agencies, and have served as focal
points for supporting HBCUs (e.g., the 1890 HBCU Land Grant Institutions
at the USDA; the Minority University Research and Education Program
(MUREP) at NASA; and the HBCU Historic Preservation Program at
Interior). While funding for IHEs at three of these departments and
agencies increased or remained the same from FY 2004 to FY 2005, the
funding for HBCUs declined. At the departments of Agriculture and
Interior, this occurred in spite of their having dedicated HBCU
programs.

Fourth, during FY 2004-05―despite annual changes in awards to HBCUs from
individual departments and agencies and the consistently unpredictable
fluctuations from agency to agency in the total dollars made available
to IHEs and HBCUs―the total dollars awarded to HBCUs seem to remain
somewhat constant when considered during a longitudinal study of funding
levels. **During the two fiscal years included in this annual report,
while the dollar amount increased for all IHEs, the HBCU percentage of
the total amount of federal funds awarded to all of the IHEs remained
the same (i.e., 3 percent of \$105,378,755,610 in FY 2005, and 3 percent
of \$96,487,551,222 in FY 2004).**

Despite the dollar increases in federal department and agency awards to
HBCUs, this apparent "flat-lining" of the percentage of HBCU agency
awards to the HBCUs, when compared to the IHEs does not bode well for
the attainment of the board's 10 percent goal, (i.e., ensuring that the
total amount of federal funds awarded to all HBCUs equals 10 percent of
the total amount of federal funds awarded to all institutions of higher
education. (See Appendix C).

The board sees two potentially negative impacts of the dramatic increase
in congressionally earmarked funds on the growth and the awarding of
funds to HBCUs: (1) the presence and impact of institutional
solicitation of noncompetitive and non-peer-reviewed awards (i.e., the
impact that congressional earmarks for America's colleges and
universities have on research and development (R&D) funding, generally,
and on IHE funding, specifically); and (2) the impact that the rise in
congressional earmarks may have on the availability of appropriated
funds for HBCU-targeted programs (e.g., Title IIIB, Strengthening
Historically Black Colleges and Universities Program and Historically
Black Graduate Institutions Programs, and other programs that typically
benefit students and programs at HBCUs). Of special interest in the
latter categories, for example, would be the Title IV, student
assistance programs, the federal TRIO programs, and NASA's MUREP.

According to the *Chronicle of Higher Education*, American colleges and
universities received more than \$2 billion in congressionally earmarked
funds in fiscal year 2003, the most recent year for which the
*Chronicle* has assembled complete data. For example, the U.S.
Department of Education's Fund for the Improvement of Postsecondary
Education (FIPSE) has become especially vulnerable to congressional
earmarks, which grew from two in FY 1998 and 16 in FY 1999 to 328 in FY
2004 and 419 in FY 2005, respectively.^4^ The increasing number of
earmarks and the absence of new appropriations amounts eliminated the FY
2005 FIPSE competition. Funds from this program have supported
innovative approaches for solving some of the most critical issues
impacting HBCUs.

**A Five-Year Perspective on HBCU Funding: 2001-05**

During 2001-05, federal funding for HBCUs increased from \$1,605,838,163
to \$3,499,195,066―a 53 percent increase; however, if the impact of
inflation is factored in, the HBCU increase declines to 46 percent (fig.
1). During this same period, overall federal funding for IHEs grew three
and a half times―from \$37,630,884,671 in FY 2001 to \$105,378,755,610
in FY 2005―a 180 percent increase (fig. 2 and 3). The FY 2001 HBCU award
level represented 4.2 percent of the overall IHE awards, while the FY
2005 HBCU awards accounted for 3 percent.

It is clear that although there is a positive trend in the dollar growth
of federal support for IHEs and HBCUs, and even an increase in the
actual dollars awarded to HBCUs each year, the HBCU award level is
virtually flat and declining as a percentage of all federal funds
awarded to America's colleges and universities (See Appendix B, table
B-2). The "flat-lining" of federal funds awarded to HBCUs cannot be
explained by any of the obvious variables (e.g., the number of
designated federal agencies contributing to the IHE and HBCU totals, or
the fluctuation in the levels of annual awards, or the variation in the
overall budgets and appropriations amounts to each of the affected
departments and agencies). The board believes that a solution lies in
focusing agency efforts on two important areas: (1) enhancing the
capacity of the HBCUs to compete for traditional R&D and peer reviewed,
competitive funding; and (2) increasing the number of agencies that
establish and administer dedicated HBCU programs. Most importantly, the
return on investment for both the federal government and the American
people as a whole, and in particular in the states and communities in
which HBCUs are located, will be dramatic and beneficial to all
stakeholders.

time period.

Note: The sharp decline in funding to HBCUs in FY 2003 is largely due to
the failure of seven agencies to provide timely reports.

The board remains convinced that these approaches, when coupled with
consistent monitoring and annual oversight through the publication of
the board's annual report to the president, and the persistent
participation of OMB through its review of designated agency budget
requests, will produce positive results for HBCUs.

**A Five-Year Snapshot of Selected HBCU-Dedicated Programs**

#### Strengthening Historically Black Colleges and Universities

U.S. Department of Education

The U.S. Department of Education administers two of the most important
federal programs to HBCUs. The Title III Part B programs, Strengthening
Historically Black Colleges and Universities (SHBCUs) Program and
Strengthening Historically Black Graduate Institutions (HBGIs) program
provide significant resources to the HBCUs and HBGIs for a wide range of
activities designed by the institutions and implemented through a
comprehensive plan approved by the secretary of education. Enacted as
part of the *Higher Education Amendments of 1986* (P.L. 99-498),
Sections 323 and 326 authorize support for a defined list of activities
for undergraduate institutions that meet the "Part B institution"
definition, and 18 HBGI graduate and professional schools and programs,
respectively. Section 322(2) of the *Higher Education Act* defines "a
Part B institution" as "... any historically Black college or university
that was established prior to 1964, whose principal mission was, and is,
the education of Black Americans ...."

More HBCUs participate in the federal program under the executive order
within the U.S. Department of Education than the total number that
actually receives Title III Part B funding. This disparity is due to the
accreditation requirement in the *Higher Education Act*. The President's
Board of Advisors on HBCUs continues to recognize those HBCUs that
remain open and benefit from other funding programs that are not guided
by the requirements under the *Higher Education Act.*

The Strengthening Historically Black Colleges and Universities Program
has continued to grow during fiscal years 2001-05 due to strong support
from the president^5^ and solid bipartisan support from the Congress
since the program first received appropriated funds in fiscal year 1987:

*HBCU Community Development Program*

U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development

The HBCU Community Development Grant Program is administered by the U.S.
Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) under section 107 of
the *Housing and Community Development Act.* Separate programs provide
funding opportunities to university initiatives that are designed by
both TWIs and HBCUs to form partnerships with communities in which they
are located with the purpose of undertaking a range of activities that
will help foster neighborhood revitalization and community development.
Program activities include health care and education, as well as housing
and other infrastructure development. Services provided may include
adult basic education, General Equivalency Diploma (GED) preparation,
job training and counseling, and technical assistance in the development
of business plans and the creation of small businesses. Recently, under
the leadership of HUD Secretary Alphonso Jackson, the sizes of
individual grants to HBCUs increased, thereby allowing more funding and
more significant activities to be undertaken through the HBCU Community
Development Program. In FY 2005, the program achieved its highest-ever
appropriation amount since the program's inception.

#### Minority University Research and Education Program

National Aeronautics and Space Administration

NASA's Minority University Research and Education Program (MUREP)
provides grants to other minority-serving institutions. MUREP,
administered through NASA's Office of Education, helps expand
educational opportunities in science, technology, engineering and
mathematics (STEM) for students from underrepresented groups who are
seeking degrees in mathematics, the sciences and engineering, and
provides competitive grants to help strengthen research capacity at
minority-serving institutions. MUREP's HBCU program has three primary
goals: (1) to enhance institutional instrumentation and infrastructure
to strengthen instruction in NASA-related areas; (2) to provide
technical assistance to facilitate planning and development in areas
related to NASA's mission; and (3) to use new technologies that will
ensure long-term viability and successful educational outcomes at HBCUs
in areas strategic to NASA's mission. Fifty-three HBCUs are currently
involved in 190 research and education projects.

**The Continuing Importance of** **HBCU Capacity Building**

Executive Order 13256 introduced the concept of capacity building as an
integral and strategic element of achieving the goal "... of increasing
the capacity of historically black colleges and universities to
participate in federal programs." (Section 6). The board is committed to
this approach not only as a means of facilitating the development of
HBCUs, but also as a means of adding educational value to this subset of
institutions. In promoting HBCU capacity building, the nation will
benefit from a return on its investment through:

-   The research and development activities at HBCUs which will increase
    the knowledge base in areas such as teaching and learning, personal
    health, eldercare, science and technology, community development,
    and public safety;

-   The preparation of students and faculty to successfully participate
    in every aspect of human endeavor, including community service
    activities and entrepreneurship, and to engage in conventional,
    competitive research and in the educational process;

-   A dramatic increase in the number of minority and low-income
    students entering college and earning degrees, especially in areas
    of national need, such as education, mathematics, science,
    technology and critical foreign languages; and

-   The development and enhancement of corporate and community
    relationships that contribute to improved opportunities and
    achievement for those residing in and around HBCU campuses, and that
    contribute to the economic development and prosperity of families
    and businesses in the communities in which these institutions are
    located.

# The Role of the Private Sector in Achieving the Capacity-building Goal

##  

As previously mentioned, the role of the private sector was omitted from
the executive order on HBCUs until President George H.W. Bush issued
Executive Order 12677 in 1989. Despite this initiative, the
private-sector effort did not begin to gain momentum until the issuance
of the current executive order, and after key board members sought to
develop a meaningful Private Sector Strategic Plan, as required by
Section 9 of Executive Order 13256. While that strategic plan
incorporates many of the critical elements necessary for its success and
has benefited from outstanding leadership from the board, it has
suffered from a lack of adequate resources to carry out its vision and
mission.

The board believes that vital private-sector partnerships are a
necessary and critical part of the HBCU institutional capacity building
and investment strategy inherent in Executive Order 13256. More
importantly, the board acknowledges that an important element essential
to the success of the private-sector strategy is a three-way partnership
that includes at least one designated federal department or agency,
rather than the two-way or institutional private-sector partnership
contemplated by the 2004 Private Sector Strategic Plan. Although the
existing plan has worked well in some instances, the new approach we
recommend should facilitate the realization of important additional
goals and objectives outlined below.

First, the plan should clarify the benefits for HBCUs of successfully
implementing a tripartite partnership among a designated federal agency,
a major private-sector entity, and a cluster of HBCUs. All must share
the same interest or desire to work together to help benefit the HBCUs
and their students.

Second, the plan should engage an appropriate federal department or
agency whose leverage with a private-sector entity (that shares the same
interest or desire to work cooperatively with that agency) would produce
a "win-win-win" situation for the agency, the private-sector entity and
the cluster of HBCUs. An example of the entities in such an arrangement
would be the U.S. Department of the Treasury, or the U.S. Department of
Commerce, the HBCU business schools, and major Wall Street investment
firms.

Third, the plan should strengthen the contributing roles of both the
federal agency and the private-sector entities and focus their attention
on the capacity building benefits to HBCUs (e.g., summer employment or
academic-year internships, faculty exchanges, scholarships and
fellowships or endowed chairs for faculty, etc.). There should also be
strategic benefits for the private-sector partners, such as the
recruitment of future employees, faculty-employee exchanges, data
gathering and analysis, and research activities.

Finally, the board is persuaded that these important ideas would be more
successfully implemented if they were delegated to those key federal
agencies with the interest, relationships and resources to support these
types of programmatic thrusts. While some coordination and monitoring
should remain with the WHI staff, success may depend on allowing the
three partners the freedom to develop and implement their own ideas
after they construct a meaningful memorandum of understanding.

## Special Focus Issues in This Report

This report includes two special focus issues requested by the
President's Board of Advisors. The first issued covers the federal
government's response to the needs of HBCUs in Louisiana and Mississippi
in the wake of hurricanes Katrina and Rita. The board has detailed the
important roles played by the U.S. Department of Education and the
Congress in addressing the needs of the HBCUs, especially those hit
hardest in Louisiana. The second issue addressed in this report is a
follow-up to the initial review included in the 2001-02 annual report,
*Building Capacity for a Bold New Future* and referenced in the 2002-03
annual report, *The Mission Continues,* regarding the persistent,
differential treatment in funding between the traditionally white land
grant colleges and universities and their historically black
counterparts under the *Second Morrill Act.* The board has updated
available comparative data on federal funding to the TWI land grants and
the HBCU land grants in each of the 17 affected states for fiscal years
2001-05 based on the USDA's Cooperative State Research, Education and
Extension Service. (See Appendix B, table B-7.)

**Federal** **Assistance to the HBCUs Following Hurricane Katrina**

The chairman of the Board of Advisors wrote to the president on behalf
of the board in a letter dated Sept. 15, 2005, making four
recommendations intended to restore each of the HBCUs to its pre-Katrina
state and, more importantly, to assure the survival of the affected
institutions as critical parts of the academic fabric in their
respective states. (See Appendix D). The board's recommendations to the
president embraced several legislative recommendations advanced by the
National Association for Equal Opportunity in Higher Education (NAFEO)
and the United Negro College Fund (UNCF). The board recommended that the
president: (1) provide funds to allow for the maintenance of key faculty
and administrative staff salaries and benefits; (2) provide funds to pay
transition costs, including temporary housing, clothing, transportation,
etc., for faculty and staff; (3) provide funds for campus facilities
reconstruction, renovation and restoration, and replacement of
instrumentation; and (4) provide funds for miscellaneous expenses to
facilitate temporary access, retention and return to the home
institution for students and key faculty.

The impact of hurricanes Katrina and Rita on the Gulf Coast states of
Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana and Texas cannot be easily explained or
understood by simply detailing the physical damage to structures or the
loss of life in the region, especially in New Orleans. The White House,
the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, and the
House Government Reform Committee have all produced major reports
assessing the federal response to hurricanes Katrina and Rita. The Board
of Advisors seeks only to review a small portion of that response as it
relates to its impact on seven HBCUs in Mississippi and Louisiana, most
particularly the three New Orleans HBCUs severely impacted by Hurricane
Katrina itself, and the subsequent breach of the levees in the Ninth
Ward of New Orleans that caused severe flooding.

**Affected Louisiana and Mississippi HBCUs**

The Aug. 29, 2005, landfall of Hurricane Katrina, with its 115130 mph
winds and the accompanying 27-foot-high storm surges, created a natural
disaster along the Gulf Coast from Mobile, Ala., to New Orleans, La.,
that impacted 93,000 square miles and went well beyond anything
anticipated or experienced in the past. Although many Americans viewed
the devastation, damage and loss of human life in New Orleans as
directly attributable to Hurricane Katrina itself, the subsequent
flooding caused by breaches in the 350-mile levee system was the real
culprit. During an estimated 18-hour period, about 80 percent of the
city was flooded with six to 20 feet of water.^6^ A major part of the
damage to both Dillard University and to Southern University at New
Orleans (SUNO) was attributable to this flooding.^7^ Despite the
devastation inflicted on the city in general, the recovery of Xavier
University, in particular, stood out as a beacon of hope for the other
HBCUs and the people of the Crescent City.^8^

The Board of Advisors wishes to make special mention of the people and
agencies that provided the necessary federal funding and technical
advice needed by all of the affected colleges and universities, and
especially the HBCUs impacted by hurricanes Katrina and Rita. We applaud
the key roles played by Secretary Margaret Spellings, Deputy Secretary
Ray Simon and former Assistant Secretary for Postsecondary Education
Sally Stroup, leaders at the U.S. Department of Education. The board
also wishes to acknowledge the efforts of David Bergeron, director of
budget and policy development in the Office of Postsecondary Education
at the U.S. Department of Education, who provided the board with an
excellent briefing on budget and policy development issues during a
board meeting on Feb. 10, 2006.^9^

The response to the HBCUs, as well as to the other affected
postsecondary institutions, can be summarized under three categories:

1.  **Financial assistance to students and aid to institutions.**

The U.S. Department of Education (ED) provided ongoing financial support
to both displaced students and their home institutions through the
existing Title IV student assistance programs. ED provided much needed
technical assistance to and policy interpretations for financial aid
administrators. This type of much needed technical assistance and policy
interpretation were crucial for allowing displaced students to enroll at
other institutions―especially those Louisiana HBCUs that were forced to
close for the fall 2005-06 semester. Modifications in the *Higher
Education Act*, due to enactment *o*f the *Pell Grant Hurricane and
Disaster Relief Act* (P.L. 109-66) and the *Student Grant Hurricane
Disaster Relief Act* (P.L. 109-67), permitted ED latitude to waive a
student's grant repayment obligation if the student withdrew because of
a major disaster. ED also implemented policies that allowed the affected
HBCUs to retain existing Title IV funds awarded to students before
Hurricane Katrina; provide Title IV funds to HBCU students who were
temporarily enrolled at other HBCUs or eligible colleges and
universities through waivers; reallocate campus-based and other funds to
students directly affected by hurricanes Katrina and Rita; and accept
students affected by those storms (*Natural Disaster Student Aid
Fairness Act*; P.L. 109-86).^10^

The Title IV, student assistance programs awarded to each of the
affected Louisiana and Mississippi institutions can be found in Appendix
B, table B-4, and the funds made available to the affected HBCUs are
summarized in table 6 below.

Note: The total amount of aid awarded to affected institutions in
Louisiana and Mississippi was \$28,429,001, including \$400,000 provided
to non hurricane-impacted colleges and schools in Louisiana and
Mississippi.

2.  **The Third *Emergency* *Supplemental Appropriations Act***.

The U.S. Department of Defense's *Emergency Supplemental Appropriations
to Address Hurricanes in the Gulf of Mexico and Pandemic Influenza Act
of 2006* (P.L. 109-148) provided \$95 million to the Louisiana Board of
Regents for emergency assistance, using a need-based formula, to cover
student financial assistance, faculty and staff salaries, equipment and
instrumentation, and any other purpose authorized by the *Higher
Education Act of 1965*, as amended. Both NAFEO and UNCF had
independently advocated a comprehensive approach to post-Katrina aid to
the HBCUs that emphasized direct grants to the affected institutions
from the DoD funding for infrastructure rebuilding and instrumentation
replacement.^11^

The act failed the HBCUs in Louisiana in two material ways: (1) by
providing funds through a third party (Louisiana Board of Regents) that
had undue influence in the development of the need-based formula for
awarding congressionally appropriated funds, and that took funds "off
the top" as the fiscal agent; and (2) by providing no meaningful role in
the allocation and administration of these funds by the U.S. Department
of Education. The act essentially ignored the infrastructure and
instrumentation needs of the HBCUs in the allocation of federal dollars,
and its focus on lost revenue. This adversely impacted the HBCUs whose
lost revenue was overwhelmingly in the Title IV student aid programs
that ED had already effectively replaced. The allocations to Dillard
(\$5,300,221), SUNO (\$5,643,584) and Xavier (\$6,868,290) under the
Louisiana board formula totaled \$17,812,095 of the \$95 million. (The
Louisiana Allocation Plan formula and award levels to all eligible
institutions can be found in Appendix G.) The act also provided \$95
million to the Mississippi Institutions of Higher Learningthe state's
higher education executive officeto provide student financial assistance
under certain Title IV student assistance programs. The act eliminated
requirements for matching, federal share and reservation of funds or
maintenance of effort. This approach, essentially, met the needs of the
Mississippi HBCUs, but not of the Louisiana HBCUs.

3.  **The Fourth *Emergency Supplemental Appropriations Act*.**

Congress' recent enactment of the *Emergency* *Supplemental
Appropriations Act for Defense, the Global War on Terror, and Hurricane
Relief for Fiscal Year 2006* (P.L. 109-234) represents its most recent
commitment to restoring some semblance of normalcy in the Gulf Coast
region. Although the higher education community again worked very hard
to ensure that additional funds would be provided to all of the colleges
and universities along the Gulf Coast,^12^ especially the HBCUs in New
Orleans, not all of the priority items pursued were included in the
final *Fourth Supplemental Conference Report*. The administration's May
18, 2006, letter to Conference Chairman Jerry Lewis did not support the
higher education provisions in the Senate version of H.R. 4939
benefiting Louisiana and Mississippi institutions of higher education,
including the HBCUs in those states.^13^ The act did include several key
elements sought by the HBCU community, including: (1) \$40 million in
historic preservation funds to the U.S. Department of the Interior,
National Park Service, for "... the preservation, stabilization,
rehabilitation, and repair of historic properties..."; (2) \$50 million
to the secretary of education "... to help defray the expenses (which
may include lost revenue, reimbursement for expenses already incurred,
and construction) incurred by such institutions of higher education that
were forced to close, relocate or significantly curtail their activities
as a result of damage directly caused by such hurricanes;" and (3) to
modify certain provisions in the Historically Black College and
University Capital Financing Program under Title III Part D of the
*Higher Education Act* of 1965 to allow for low-interest (1 percent)
loans to the three Louisiana (in addition to one from Mississippi) HBCUs
under one-time, favorable terms.^14^

One issue deserves separate mention due to its potentially negative
impact on the Southern University at New Orleans. It appears that the
state of Louisiana, acting through the Louisiana Board of Regents, may
be orchestrating a significant restructuring and downsizing of the
public higher education system in the wake of the adverse economic and
physical devastation caused by the Gulf Coast storms. One of the
potential targets of the restructuring would be the SUNO campus, which
experienced \$350,000,000 in damage from the hurricane.^15^ Already, the
university has been forced to eliminate majors in 19 academic fields,
including English, mathematics and physics. Educators and lawmakers have
also discussed merging the SUNO campus into the University of New
Orleans.^16^ The White House Initiative on HBCUs will monitor this issue
and provide the board with periodic updates regarding future
developments.

**Assessing Disparities in Funding for TWI and HBCU Land-Grant
Institutions Under the *Morrill Acts***

The Board of Advisors first expressed concern about the differential
allocation of federal resources to the TWI land grants compared to the
Historically Black Land Grant Colleges and Universities (HBCU land
grants) in its 2001-02 annual report.^17^ The systemic nature of the
funding disparity between the TWI and HBCU land grants has its roots in
the separate and distinct programs authorized under the *First
Morrill-Wade Act of 1862* (7 USC 301 *et. seq.)* and the *Second
Morrill-McComas Act of 1890* (7 USC 321 *et. seq.*). These laws created
a federal mandate to provide instruction in agriculture and the
mechanical arts, conduct agricultural research, and deliver knowledge
and practical information to farmers and consumers.^18^

Although the *Second Morrill Act*, which created the 17 historically
black land-grant institutions, mandated the same academic, research and
extension mission for the historically black land-grants as the *First
Morrill Act* did for all other land grants, the HBCU land grants did not
receive the same land and resources from their states or the federal
government.

A distinguished advisory committee to the National Research Council
acknowledged in its 1995 report, *Colleges of Agriculture at the
Land-Grant Universities,* the differences in the development of the
land-grant colleges and universities in the following way: "The ability
to adjust over time to those changing interests and needs is constrained
by resource availability, including financial resources and the
knowledge and skills of the faculty, scientists and staff."^19^ This
conclusion about the impact of the differential development of the
institutional research capacity at the HBCU land-grants has recently
been echoed in a 2003 Government Accountability Office report, based on
more recent information from a cross-section of minority-serving
institutions, including nine historically black land-grant
institutions.^20^ Even though the actual differential treatment of the
"1890 institutions," or the historically black land-grant institutions,
has not been consistently documented,^21^ there is one seminal work by
William E. Trueheart that comprehensively documents not only the
differential allocation of congressional appropriations, but also every
other aspect of the differential allocation of resources between TWI and
HBCU land grants.^22^ Trueheart's comparisons leave no doubt about the
historic and pervasive nature of the differential treatment through
1974.

While the presence and extensiveness of the differential treatment
between 1862 and 1974 documented by Trueheart might be explained on some
basis (e.g., the formula for allocating federal appropriations), there
can be no nondiscriminatory rationale for the persistence of the
differential treatment. There had been some hope for real change with
the enactment of Section 1449 of Subtitle G of the *National
Agricultural Research and Teaching Policy Act of 1977 (NARTP)* as a
recipe for addressing the historic under-funding of the HBCU land
grants. However, as the litigation in Alabama, Louisiana and Mississippi
indicates,^23^ and table B-7 in Appendix B illustrates, not only have
the differential allocations persisted, but the full dollar-for-dollar
match has not materialized through fiscal year 2005 in any meaningful
way that would remedy the differential allocations of the past.

> Although the nation is proud of the outstanding achievements of
> America's land-

grant colleges and universities, the reality is that the black
land-grant institutions established by the 1890 *Morrill Act* have been
denied the full benefits of the federal-state-institution partnership.
It should be noted that beyond the legislatively mandated programs
administered under the Cooperative State Research, Education and
Extension Service (CSREES), the Natural Resources Conservation Service
(NRCS), and the Agriculture Research Service (ARS), the 1890 land-grant
colleges and universities are less than marginally involved in a
significant number of U.S. Department of Agriculture agencies.

The board is concerned about the ability of the "state matching"
approach established in the NARTP to remedy the historic differential
funding because it relies on the states to significantly increase their
support to the HBCU land-grants, while maintaining a reasonable level of
support for its TWI land-grants. This approach appears to ignore the
federal government's role in the historic under-funding of HBCU
land-grants, as well as the fiscal limitations facing many of the
affected southern states. The board believes that the Bush
administration, in cooperation with the Congress, should work with each
of the HBCU land-grants to develop an institution specific enhancement
plan designed to develop and implement new academic programs and
identify new research initiatives (with the required instrumentation and
infrastructures) at each of the HBCU land-grants that would be funded by
the federal government.

## Recommendations

The board has specifically sought to avoid articulating a list of new
recommendations in its 2004-05 annual report. Rather, this report seeks
to focus on increasing agency accountability in realizing previously
articulated board recommendations and its 10 percent goal, and create
more programs that help fulfill the capacity building requirements of
Executive Order 13256. The board believes that increased accountability
and the implementation of more dedicated HBCU programs devoted to
capacity building will facilitate the realization of both goals.

**Review of Previous Board** **Recommendations**

The Board of Advisors included in its 2001-02 annual report an extensive
list of specific recommendations to each of the designated agencies to
assist each department and agency in fulfilling the capacity building
mandate of Executive Order 13256 and to help realize the overall goal of
the order, including the development and implementation of dedicated
HBCU programs. The 2002-03 annual report repeated those recommendations
and themes. Ultimately, the approval of these recommendations by the
board was intended to increase agency funding for HBCUs from both
discretionary and other agency resources.

While the chairman has used these recommendations to encourage agency
action during his meetings with key agency officials, and the WHI staff
has made effective use of these recommendations in monitoring agency
progress, there is still a long way to go in realizing the capacity
building program objective and in achieving the board's 10 percent goal.
Hence, the board has committed itself to intensifying its efforts to
achieve all of its previous recommendations, especially the creation of
HBCU-dedicated programs in each designated department and agency, and
the devotion of certain programs to the capacity building function
outlined in Section 6 of the executive order. Several critical themes
are repeated in this report to emphasize their importance for achieving
the purposes of Executive Order 13256:

-   Establishment of dedicated HBCU programs at each designated
    department and agency, with a focus on institutional capacity
    building, as defined in Executive Order 13256;

-   Creation of federal centers of excellence at HBCUs, especially by
    those agencies and departments with a core research mission or
    well-defined programmatic functions that can be aligned with the
    research mission or key academic programs at HBCUs;

-   Enhanced support for academic programs in the STEM (science,
    technology, engineering and mathematics) areas, including public
    health;

-   Increased support for creating and enhancing doctoral programs,
    including existing pharmacy and veterinary medicine programs, in
    areas in which African-Americans are underrepresented, especially in
    the STEM areas and public health; and

-   Increased agency support to HBCUs from discretionary funding
    accounts through cooperative agreements and other agency
    initiatives, including those with private-sector partners that marry
    the agency mission with private-sector interests and the needs and
    academic strengths of HBCUs.

The board remains committed to the realization of its recommendation
that agency awards through grants, contracts, cooperative agreements,
and other agency procurement vehicles would be equal to at least 10
percent of the amount the agency awards each year to all IHEs.

**Revised** **Recommendations**

General Recommendations:

> 1\. Each designated department and agency under Executive Order 13256
> should provide the information required by Section 6 of the Executive
> Order *electronically,* to the White House Initiative on HBCUs, in a
> format that provides growth data regarding awards to HBCUs, specific
> data with regard to capacity building, and private-sector funds
> awarded to HBCUs as a result of partnerships involving one or more
> federal agencies.
>
> 2\. The secretary of education should consider restructuring, and
> possibly reducing, the current list of 32 designated federal
> departments and agencies―based on a review by the WHI staff and
> specific recommendations by the Board of Advisors―to enhance WHI
> monitoring and oversight of agency performance under Executive Order
> 13256 and OMB budget review; and to increase the dollars awarded to
> HBCUs by those departments and agencies with significant procurement
> budgets and missions that parallel the institutional missions and
> academic programs of HBCUs.

3.  The board is committed to intensifying its efforts to increase the
    participation of all HBCUs in federal department and agency programs
    through the creation of more dedicated HBCU programs at each
    designated agency as recommended in the 2001-02 annual report. The
    board is also committed to: enhancing existing programs in
    cooperation with the OMB; working with individual departments and
    agencies to devote more resources to capacity building efforts that
    strengthen HBCUs for the long-term; and reducing the disparity
    between funding for TWIs and HBCUs. These efforts will facilitate
    the achievement of the board's 10 percent goal, (i.e., ensuring that
    the total amount of federal funds awarded to all HBCUs equals 10
    percent of the total amount of federal funds awarded to all
    institutions of higher education).

Specific Recommendations:

1.  The president should request, and make every effort to secure, from
    the Congress sufficient funds to ensure that Dillard University,
    Southern University of New Orleans (SUNO) and Xavier University of
    Louisiana can return to their pre-Katrina state, especially as it
    relates to the necessary instrumentation and infrastructure required
    to carry out their pre-Katrina academic missions.

2.  The president should direct the secretary of agriculture to review
    the impact of Section 1449 of the *National Agriculture Research and
    Teaching Policy Act of 1977* in redressing the longstanding funding
    disparities between traditionally white and historically black land
    grant colleges and universities.

###### APPENDICES

## Appendix A: Presidential DocumentsExecutive Order 13256

**Advisors for Historically Black Colleges and Universities**

Executive Order\
President\'s Board of Advisors on Historically Black Colleges and
Universities

By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the
laws of the United States of America, in order to advance the
development of the Nation\'s full human potential and to advance equal
opportunity in higher education, to strengthen the capacity of
historically black colleges and universities to provide the highest
quality education, and to increase opportunities for these institutions
to participate in and benefit from Federal programs, as do other
colleges and universities, it is hereby ordered as follows:

Section 1. There is established, in the Office of the Secretary of
Education, a Presidential advisory committee entitled the \"President\'s
Board of Advisors on Historically Black Colleges and Universities\"
(Board). The Board shall prepare and issue an annual report to the
President on the results of the participation of historically black
colleges and universities in Federal programs. The Board also shall
provide advice to the President and to the Secretary of Education
(Secretary) regarding the needs of historically black colleges and
universities in the areas of infrastructure, academic programs, and
faculty and institutional development. In the annual report to the
President, the Board shall make recommendations on how to increase the
private sector role, including the role of private foundations, in
strengthening historically black colleges and universities. Particular
emphasis should also be given in the report to enhancing institutional
planning and development, strengthening fiscal stability and financial
management, and improving institutional infrastructure, including the
use of technology, to ensure the long-term viability and enhancement of
these institutions.

Sec. 2. The Board shall be appointed by the President. The Board
membership shall include sitting presidents of historically black
colleges and universities, representatives of other higher education
institutions, business and financial leaders, representatives of private
foundations, and secondary school administrators. The President shall
designate a Chair or Co-Chairs from among the members.

Sec. 3. The White House Initiative on Historically Black Colleges and
Universities (Initiative), located in the Office of the Secretary of
Education, shall: (1) provide staff, resources, and assistance to the
Board; (2) assist the Secretary in performing the liaison function
between the executive branch and historically black colleges and
universities; and (3) serve the Secretary in carrying out the
responsibilities described in section 6 of this order.

Sec. 4. To carry out this order, each executive department and agency
identified by the Secretary may, consistent with applicable law and
regulations, enter into appropriate grants, contracts, or cooperative
agreements with historically black colleges and universities. The head
of each department or agency so identified shall establish an annual
plan that will establish clear goals for how the department or agency
intends to increase the capacity of historically black colleges and
universities to compete effectively for grants, contracts, or
cooperative agreements and to encourage historically black colleges and
universities to participate in Federal programs. The department\'s or
agency\'s annual goal should be clearly reflected in the department\'s
or agency\'s annual budget submission to the Office of Management and
Budget. To facilitate the attainment of these goals, the head of each
department or agency identified by the Secretary shall provide, as
appropriate, technical assistance and information to historically black
colleges and universities regarding the program activities of the
department or agency and the preparation of applications or proposals
for grants, contracts, or cooperative agreements.

Sec. 5. Each executive department and agency identified by the Secretary
shall appoint a senior official, who is a full-time officer of the
Federal Government, to report directly to the department or agency head
with respect to department or agency activity under this order, and to
serve as liaison to the Board and to the Initiative. To the extent
permitted by law and regulations, each executive department and agency
identified by the Secretary shall provide appropriate information
requested by the Board and staff pursuant to the order.

Sec. 6. Each executive department and agency identified by the Secretary
shall develop an annual plan for, and shall document the agency\'s

September 15, 2005

The President

The White House

1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, N.W.

Washington, D.C. 20500

Dear Mr. President:

As you know, Hurricane Katrina devastated the city of New Orleans
causing significant damage all along the Gulf Coast in Alabama and
Mississippi. Part of the untold story regarding the damage from the
storm is the horrific impact it had on the college and university
communities within New Orleans and in Mississippi. Specifically, three
of the Nation's Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) --
Dillard University, Southern University in New Orleans (SUNO), and
Xavier University of Louisiana have been seriously damaged to the point
of closure, and Tougaloo College and Jackson State University have
experienced damages as well, yet remain open.

I write to you today, on behalf of the President's Board of Advisors on
HBCUs and consistent with our charge under Executive Order 13256, to
urge you to include in the next urgent Katrina Supplemental funding,
several critical areas to address the student-focused and institutional
needs of Dillard, SUNO, and Xavier, as well as those other HBCUs
impacted by Katrina, and those HBCUs that have received students from
the affected HBCUs and other affected colleges and universities in New
Orleans or along the Gulf Coast.

As you know, the Nation's HBCUs serve a disproportionately large number
of students who qualify for Title IV, Student Assistance under the
*Higher Education Act* of 1965, as amended -- making these students and
their institutions highly vulnerable when they relocate to another
institution and seek to enroll using Title IV aid. Conversely, the
student's *home institution* could be crippled by loss of these funds if
that Title IV aid were withdrawn. A crucial challenge that we face as a
Nation is to ensure that Title IV funds remain at the home institution,
and that funds from another source are provided to assure that the
*receiving institution* is appropriately compensated for the burden that
it assumes in admitting these students. Maximum flexibility to make
important decisions to address these circumstances must be provided to
the Secretary of Education, and to her key staff to make certain that
despite this tragedy, no student is denied access or the appropriate
resources needed to continue their education.

After consulting with the leadership of the National Association for
Equal Opportunity in Higher Education (NAFEO) and the United Negro
College Fund (UNCF), as well as the presidents of the affected
institutions, the President's Board of Advisors is recommending the
following:

Page 2

-   Funding for Faculty and Staff Salaries and Benefits -- Federal funds
    should be provided to assure that faculty and staff at the three New
    Orleans institutions receive their regular salary and benefits for
    the 2005-2006 Academic Year. We understand that the estimate for
    these costs is slightly less than \$100 million. Through the Office
    of Management and Budget (OMB), we urge you to encourage those
    Federal agencies with unique research, program management and
    review, system analysis, and other similar program responsibilities
    to seek out and utilize the skills of these HBCU faculty members to
    the maximum extent possible at their home, temporary home, or
    temporary campus locations to perform needed tasks for the Federal
    Government.

-   Pay Transition Costs -- Federal support should also be provided for
    faculty and staff to support the temporary housing, clothing,
    personal effects and transportation needs, as well as their
    transition to temporary campus locations, e.g., Dillard University
    to the Morris Brown College Campus, Atlanta, Georgia, and Xavier
    University to the Knoxville College/Morristown College Campuses in
    Knoxville, Tennessee. This would include round-trip air, train, or
    automobile transportation to the temporary campus location, as well
    as any temporary Federal research or temporary teaching position at
    an institution of higher education, etc.

-   Funds for Campus Renovations and Restoration -- Funds should be
    provided for the repair of damaged buildings; demolition and new
    construction, if necessary; and renovation/rehabilitation of
    historic buildings and other campus facilities, including
    replacement of damaged or destroyed instrumentation and
    infrastructure losses caused by Katrina that would not be *covered
    by institutional insurance or FEMA, (plus any added costs or
    replacement value not covered by the above).* Estimates for the
    renovation of Morris Brown College and Knoxville College campuses
    are being developed, in order to make these campuses ready and
    available by January 2006.

-   Miscellaneous -- Several important issues should be incorporated in
    your request to Congress, including: (1) Faculty Retention Bonuses
    to ensure that they remain with the institution as the core of the
    academic enterprise at the effected New Orleans institutions; (2)
    KAT Grants for students to encourage their return to their *home
    institution* and to help encourage new students to enroll in the
    2006-2007 academic year; and (3) reimbursement grants to the
    *receiving institutions* to pay the cost of attendance for any Title
    IV-eligible student at the *receiving institution.* A KAT Grant
    would be provided for one academic year. A new student who enrolls
    at any one of the affected institutions would also be eligible for a
    one-year, one-time-only KAT Grant. Students would be eligible to
    receive a KAT Grant in January 2006, if Dillard, SUNO or Xavier
    establishes an alternative campus site.

11\. David Ward, president of the American Council on Education (ACE),
wrote to key House and Senate conferees on May 1 and 24, 2006, about the
fourth supplemental largely in support of the Senate-passed bill's
provisions, including \$30 million in grant aid for institutions that
were forced to close, \$200 million in "bridge loans" to assist in
rebuilding efforts, and the modifications in the HBCU Capital Financing
Program (Title III, Part D, *HEA*). The ACE letters were endorsed by the
American Association of Community Colleges, the American Association of
Universities, the American Association of State Colleges and
Universities, the Association of Jesuit Colleges and Universities, the
National Association of Independent Colleges and Universities, the
National Association of State Universities and Land-Grant Colleges and
Universities, and the United Negro College Fund. On May 4, 2006, UNCF
urged Congressional Black Caucus Chairman Mel Watt to support a series
of issues designed to address several needs of the HBCUs and wrote
separately on May 11, 2006, to Chairman Jerry Lewis and Ranking Democrat
David Obey on May 16, 2006, to Labor, HHS and Education Subcommittee
Chair Ralph Regula, encouraging House inclusion of the Senate higher
education provisions in the final bill, and again on May 9, 2006, in
support of those changes in the Senate version of the fourth
supplemental bill that required changes to the *Higher Education Act*.

Profile*, National Research Council, pp. 1-17 (1995).

Although not widely understood, historically black private colleges were
utilized to carry out public functions under the *Second Morrill Act of
1890* because several Southern states were unable to underwrite the cost
of supporting a separate, segregated institution of higher education for
their Negro citizens. "Separate but equal" arose in this context because
the *Second Morrill Act*, in addition to providing appropriated funds
for the "1890 institutions," also forbade racial discrimination in the
admissions policies for those institutions that received *Morrill Act*
funds. Compliance with this requirement was avoided by creating
separate, black land-grant institutions, or funding alternative
institutional educational settings for black students. In 1872, South
Carolina allocated all of the funds from the sale of land under the
*Second Morrill Act* to Claflin College to assume the land-grant
functions. In 1879, the Claflin share was reduced by one-half, and in
1896 South Carolina State College was established to assume the black
land-grant functions in South Carolina. Virginia, like South Carolina,
provided for the postsecondary education of its former Negro slaves by
giving one-third of the receipts from its sale of land to Hampton
Institute in 1872. Founded as a normal and agricultural institution by
Brig. General Samuel C. Armstrong in 1868 with a latent vocational
program inspired by Booker T. Washington, the Hampton Normal and
Agricultural Institute later became simply Hampton Institute. Hampton
continued to share in *Morrill Act* funding until the creation of
Virginia State University in 1882. The University of Tennessee (UT)
first began channeling 1890 *Morrill Act* funds to Knoxville College in
1892 and UT continued to support the "Industrial Department" of
Knoxville College until the early 1900s. The Mechanical Building was
constructed on the campus in 1892, at a cost of \$5,000 under an 1891
contract whereby the College agreed to train black students for UT.
Under this curious arrangement, UT agreed to pay the college \$2,800 a
year for two professors, a foreman and student labor and other sums for
equipment. Under this arrangement, the UT president was president of the
Knoxville College Industrial Department and the college's president was
its director! By 1901, the college received \$4,000; in 1902 it rose to
\$5,000; and in 1903 it was \$6,000, with all funding being spent on the
Industrial Department. By 1904, the Industrial Department had branches
in dairying, gardening, greenhouse work, and livestock-raising on a
78-acre farm with 18 cattle-modern machinery, a dynamo that furnished
electricity, and a brick kiln that produced 1 million bricks for the
construction of three campus buildings and numerous buildings throughout
the city of Knoxville. A nurse training hospital was erected in 1906.
The college continued its land-grant functions until 1913, when
Tennessee A&I State University opened in Nashville. See *On a Hilltop

23\. Currently, the substantial gaps in TWI and HBCU land-grant funding
are in the area of competitively awarded grants and contracts in all
areas of the USDA, state matching land grant funds, and the Expanded
Food and Nutrition Education Program (EFNEP). For 36 years, prior to
fiscal year 2003, the 1890s were excluded from EFNEP. The EFNEP, funded
at approximately \$60 million annually, provides support through the
states to eligible land-grant universities. In 2002, Congress made the
1890s eligible for funding when appropriations increased by 15 percent,
while the 1890s welcomed the opportunity to participate in the EFNEP.
Appropriations must be significantly increased to provide equitable
funding for the HBCU land grant.
