Historically black colleges and universities will need to play a vital role in reaching President Barack Obama's goal of boosting college graduation rates by 2020, said one of the president's top education advisers.
John Wilson, executive director of the White House Initiative on Historically Black Colleges and Universities, told about 200 people at Paul Quinn College on Wednesday that he is working to meet that need by increasing funding for historically black colleges and addressing their unique academic challenges.
"We all understand we cannot reach the 2020 goal without an enormously enhanced contribution from historically black colleges and universities," Wilson said.
