WASHINGTON — The White House is working on an executive order regarding historically black colleges and universities, according to three sources familiar with a Wednesday morning “listening session” with President Trump in commemoration of Black History Month.
It’s not clear what the executive order will do, sources with knowledge of the executive order said. But the subject turned to HBCUs when Paris Dennard, a political commentator who works on strategic communications for the Thurgood Marshall College Fund, brought up the future of HBCUs during the meeting.
......Dennard told BuzzFeed News he told the president ....... that his support of HBCUs was badly needed — especially given how HBCUs fared under the previous administration.
Since then, two sources familiar with the matter told BuzzFeed News that something was being worked on.
Another source speculated that the White House Initiative on HBCUs, housed under the US Department of Education under Obama, might be moved to be run out of the White House.
