To amend the Higher Education Act of 1965 to provide for additional uses of funds for grants to strengthen historically Black colleges and universities, and for other purposes.

# Bill Summary: HR 2664 **What the Bill Would Do** HR 2664 would modify federal funding rules for historically Black colleges and universities (HBCUs) by expanding how grants to these institutions can be used. Rather than limiting funds to specific purposes, the bill would allow HBCUs greater flexibility in how they spend federal grant money to strengthen their programs and operations. The bill also includes undefined "other purposes," suggesting additional provisions not detailed in the available summary. **Who It Affects** This legislation primarily affects HBCUs—institutions established before 1964 with the principal mission of educating African Americans. It would indirectly benefit students attending these universities by potentially improving campus facilities, academic programs, and institutional resources.

Taxpayers fund these grants, making them stakeholders in how the money is used. **Current Status** HR 2664 is currently in committee, meaning it has been introduced but has not yet been debated or voted on by the full House of Representatives. The bill was sponsored by Representative Alma S. Adams, a Democrat from North Carolina. Without additional details about the specific "other purposes" mentioned, the full scope of the bill's impact cannot be fully assessed.
