These HBCUs Have Been Massively Underfunded For 30 Years
Updated Sep 27, 2023
At this stage in our reckoning with America’s ongoing history of systemic racism, it comes as no shock that historically Black colleges and universities have been underfunded across the board. But recent letters sent by the Biden administration to governors across the South and Midwest detail this lack of support — and the data is cringe as hell.
According to the letters from Education Secretary Miguel Cardona and Agriculture Secretary Thomas Vilsack, land-grant HBCUs in 16 states were shortchanged more than $13 billion over the last 30-plus years. These HBCUs include Alabama A&M University, North Carolina A&T State University, Virginia State University and Tennessee State University, among others.
The letters address how much funding land-grant HBCUs in each of the states would have received in the last three decades if states’ funding per student matched the mandate of the Morrill Acts, a pair of late-1800s laws that established land-grant universities. Tennessee and North Carolina topped the list, with the gap in funding swelling to over $2 billion apiece.

Federal officials told 16 states that they’ve been underfunding their Historically Black Colleges and Universities by some $12 billion. Tennessee State University had the biggest loss.
Sixteen states have been underfunding their historically Black land grant colleges for decades. The shortfall is more than $12 billion, according to a recent analysis from the U.S. Department of Education. Tennessee underfunded its land grant HBCU more than any other state in the report. Now students there are amplifying their call for the state to pay that money back. From member station WPLN in Nashville, Alexis Marshall reports.
We’re inside the gymnasium at Tennessee State University. The school’s Grammy award-winning Aristocrat of Bands is playing. Students hand out free T-shirts and signs that say, we’ve been cheated. There’s a DJ and some fiery speeches coming from the stage.
Say, we got the power. Do you believe we got the power? We going to get it back what’s rightfully ours. Amen. All right.
