mr. scott: i thank the gentlelady for her leadership in bringing this bill to the floor and i thank all of my house and senate colleagues who worked diligently on this legislation. historically black colleges and universities, tribal colleges and universities and other minority-serving institutions play a significant role in expanding access to higher education. collectively they educate more than one fourth of all undergraduates. nearly six million students. historically black colleges and universities make up less than 3% of colleges and universities, yet they produce almost 20% of all black graduates, half of all black professionals and over a third of all black stem graduates. unfortunately, despite the role in serving our nation's most underserved students. these colleges have been underresourced compared to other institutions of higher education. the house passed the future act, a proposal to provide vital that g for hcbu's and funding expired on september 30. this bill will restore that
