Lynn C. Woolsey: “just do it. Go ahead, return the historically black colleges and universities and the Hispanic-serving universities to…”

On the recordMarch 1, 2001
just do it. Go ahead, return the historically black colleges and universities and the Hispanic-serving universities to the subcommittee where they belong, the subcommittee that has jurisdiction over higher education, the Subcommittee on 21st Century Competitiveness, the subcommittee for this century. Separating historically black, Hispanic, and tribal institutions from the higher education subcommittee is insulting. It is harmful. It takes us back to the 19th century. The Republicans' decision is insulting and harmful. It is harmful to our colleagues. It is harmful to the institutions, to the students, and those who attend them, and it is harmful to our Nation. What good reason could there be for not changing this decision? There is no good reason. Just do it.
