National Hispanic-Serving Institutions Week, 2015

In simple terms

President Obama proclaimed September 14-20, 2015 as National Hispanic-Serving Institutions Week, calling on public officials, educators, and Americans to observe the week with programs and ceremonies recognizing HSIs' contributions to higher education for Hispanic students. The proclamation highlights prior administration commitments including $1 billion in HSI funding and a community college affordability proposal, but contains no new policy directives or mandates.
