CEHD Associate Professor Discuses Historic Wall Street HBCU Endowment
Dominique Baker, associate professor in the College of Education and Human Development’s School of Education and the Joseph R. Biden, Jr. School of Public Policy and Administration, was featured in an ABC News article about Neuberger Berman historic endowment assistance for Alabama State University, a historically Black university.
Baker emphasizes that public historically Black colleges and universities (HBCU) have typically been underfunded.
“Public HBCUs have been denied their rightful funding from the state and the federal government for a significant period of time,” Baker said. “And so getting these types of fund managers is not enough when it comes to thinking about the type of funding support that public HBCUs should be receiving,” she added.
