The Department of Education's Office of Postsecondary Education announced a notice concerning an information collection request under the Paperwork Reduction Act. They are seeking to extend, without change, the current data collection related to grants for the Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCU) and FUTURE Act 2019 Programs. The purpose of this data collection is to support these programs in providing resources to enhance the infrastructure and academic capabilities of historically Black institutions. Public comments can be submitted until January 15, 2025, and the information will be used to process new and continuing awards efficiently.
Simple Explanation
The Department of Education wants to keep collecting data to help certain colleges for a little while longer, just like they have been doing, but they need people to tell them if this is still a good idea.
