Hispanic Association of Colleges and Universities


About Hispanic-Serving Institutions (HSIs)


HACU's Position

HACU’s mission is to champion Hispanic success in higher education. HSIs are at the forefront of efforts to increase educational access and success for the nation's Hispanic population. Together, HSIs represent only 20% of institutions nationwide, yet they are home to almost two-thirds of the Hispanic student population.

Among the requirements laid out in the Higher Education Act (HEA), HSIs enroll at least 25% full-time enrollment Hispanic undergraduate students and offer access to a significant proportion of the nation’s most underserved and underrepresented student groups. Increased federal resources are needed to improve Hispanics' educational attainment.

Background

In the 2022-23 school year, HSIs grew to 600 institutions, a 4.9% increase from 2021-2022, surpassing pre-pandemic levels. While the number of HSIs has increased, funding has remained static relative to their growth. The following map shows the relative distribution of Hispanic undergraduate students, HSIs, and Federal HSI funds.

Understanding Indigenous People Day

President Biden became the first U.S. president to issue a proclamation recognizing Indigenous Peoples’ Day in 2021, writing, "Today, we recognize Indigenous peoples’ resilience and strength as well as the immeasurable positive impact that they have made on every aspect of American society."

Why Replace Columbus Day with Indigenous Peoples’ Day?
Activists have long argued that holidays, statues and other memorials to Columbus sanitize his actions—which include the enslavement of Native Americans—while giving him credit for “discovering” a place where communities had lived for thousands of years.

“Columbus Day is not just a holiday, it represents the violent history of colonization in the Western hemisphere,” says Leo Killsback, a professor of American Indian Studies at Arizona State University.

Columbus Day became a federal holiday in 1937, in part because of efforts by Roman Catholic Italian Americans. During the late 19th and early 20th century, members of the stigmatized ethnic and religious group successfully campaigned to establish a Columbus Day in order to place Catholic Italians, like Christopher Columbus, into American history. In doing so, they edged out people of Anglo-Saxon descent who wanted a federal holiday honoring Leif Erikson as the first European to reach the Americas.

But decades later, the question of which European got here “first” is beside the point. “Indigenous Peoples' Day represents a much more honest and fair representation of American values,” writes Killsback, who is a citizen of the Northern Cheyenne Nation of southeastern Montana.
