Summary
The bill changes the federal definition of a historically Black college or university (HBCU) by moving the cut‑off date from 1964 to November 8, 1965. This would allow older institutions that meet the existing criteria to be recognized as HBCUs. Expanding the definition could affect eligibility for programs and recognition tied to HBCU status.
