HBCUs

The lightning-rod secretary of education delivered her commencement address to the historically black university despite turned backs and loud shouts of "go home" from some graduates in the crowd.

While much of the focus has been on deportations of Latinx, other groups have been under increased scrutiny.

Roughly half of HBCUs have a freshman class where three-quarters of the students are from low-income backgrounds, while just 1 percent of non-HBCUs serve as high a percentage of low-income students.

Over the past three years, nearly a third of HBCUs have seen at least a 20 percent increase in applications, which correlates with protests over high-profile racial-violence incidents.
