Senators Hear Testimony Favoring a $250-Million Technology Program for Minority Colleges - Dan Carnevale, the Chronicle
Colleges that serve minority students need better digital and wireless infrastructures if they're going to prepare young people to join the work force. That was the message five presidents of minority-serving institutions brought on Thursday to the U.S. Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation. The presidents were called to testify on a bill proposed by Sen. George Allen, a Virginia Republican, that would create a grant program to help historically black colleges and universities, Hispanic-serving institutions, and tribal colleges develop wireless capabilities and other campus technologies.
