Bouck Graf ED Favorable 2. Smith Elwell AHE Recommend: Fav/CS 3. Sikes Hansen AP Pre-meeting I. Summary: SB 1526 bill creates the Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCU) Matching Endowment Scholarship Program (program). The program will be administered by the Florida Department of Education (DOE) and will provide funds to participating Florida-based HBCUs for scholarships to enrolled students. Four HBCUs are located in Florida: Florida Agricultural and Mechanical University, Bethune-Cookman University, Edward Waters College, and Florida Memorial University. The bill requires the Legislature to appropriate $2 million for the program, to be transferred to the Historically Black Colleges and Universities Matching Endowment Scholarship Trust Fund (trust fund). By June 30, 2019, each HBCU that wishes to participate in the program must contribute $500,000 in matching funds to the trust fund. The bill takes effect July 1, 2018. II. Present Situation: The Higher Education Act of 1965, as amended, defines an HBCU as: “… historically black college or university that was established prior to 1964, whose principal mission was, and is, the education of black Americans, and that is accredited by a nationally recognized accrediting agency or association determined by the Secretary [of Education] to be a reliable authority as to the quality of training offered or is, according to such an agency or association, making reasonable progress toward accreditation.”1 1 U.S.

    NAGY SOARS AWAY May 6, 2010 by Webmaster Filed under Campus Leave a Comment An Aviation Major is Ready to Take Off By LACY REDWINE Staff Writer Michael Nagy, is a senior majoring in business administration with a specialization in aviation management. He is originally from Cali, Colombia but the transition for this international sensation was not as difficult as one may think. “I was very excited to move to Boca Raton, but I was more excited to start flight training at Lynn,” said Nagy. Nagy knew the moment he got to Boca that he wanted to pursue aviation. “I chose this major because I wanted an aviation related major that would allow me to fly and become a pilot, but at the same time allow me to have a business background,” said Nagy. “In the event that I cannot be a pilot, I have a business degree which would allow me to get a job; not as a pilot, but still related to aviation.” Nagy is hopeful and eager to exploit his knowledge and passion for aviation. He has future plans of a graduate degree from Lynn as well as pursuing his dream of being a pilot. “I am also currently in the application process for Air Force Officer Training School which I would love to become an Air Force officer, and hopefully be able to be a pilot as well,” said Nagy. When discussing his time spent at Lynn, Nagy has many unforgettable memories to cherish forever. “I am particularly proud of the flight training I went through at the Lynn University Burton D.

    Ms. Jean-Didier Gaina August 1, 2016 Offce of Postsecondary Education U.S. Department of Education 400 Maryland Avenue SW, Room 6W232B Washington, DC 20202 RE: DOCKET NUMBER ED-2015-OPE-0103 Dear Ms. Gaina: As the Executive Vice President of Monroe College, I write regarding the proposed Defense to Repayment Rule (“Rule”) as published in the Notice of Proposed Rulemaking on June 13, 2016. At Monroe College, we have consistently championed an approach to higher education that focuses on: • Student outcomes across all institution types • Constructive policies that encourage and permit responsive actions from institutions that positively impact students • Transparency in data and process Our comments on the Rule focus on two areas: • A concern that the proposed Repayment Rate Warning does not adequately protect or inform students and refects a fawed approach that jeopardizes the entire Rule • Risks stemming from an overly broad Borrower Defense Framework will lead to unintended consequences that harm community colleges, HBCUs, and other institutions that provide access to underrepresented students For 83 years, Monroe College has consistently produced some of the best outcomes in the country for urban and low-income minority students. We have one of the highest graduation rates and one of the lowest default rates for the populations we serve. We are proud of the recognition we have earned as a model for increasing student access and the resources we allocate to student support services, including fnancial literacy, student loan counseling, remediation and career services. Given that Monroe is located in the poorest congressional zip code in the country, we are a laboratory for many of the great higher education policy debates, particularly those that relate to access for minorities and low-income students, graduation rates, student debt, college readiness, or employment outcomes.
