Do Not Fall For The Okie Doke!

Oh how right you were/are! The titles of both articles are very misleading.


The bill authorizes $85 million a year for historically black colleges and universities, along with $100 million for Hispanic-serving institutions, $30 million for tribal schools and $40 million for a variety of other minority-serving institutions.

The money is primarily meant to expand programs in science, technology, engineering and math.
