The Trump administration has proposed significant cuts to funding for tribal colleges and universities, suggesting a nearly 90% reduction in financial support. Advocates warn that if Congress accepts this budget, it could lead to the closure of these institutions, severely impacting students who rely on them for education. Many tribal colleges argue they are essential for communities, particularly in impoverished areas, and they are owed protection under treaties. Leaders from tribal colleges stress the importance of these institutions in workforce training and urge Congress to reconsider the cuts.
The numbers that are being proposed would close the tribal colleges. They would not be able to sustain.
It doesn't make sense for them to approve the cuts when they're relying on us to train the workforce.
