A California bill would establish a category to recognize colleges and universities that serve and provide support for black and African American students.

State Senate Bill 1348, introduced by Sen. Steven Bradford, would create criteria for institutions to receive a “Black-Serving Institution” designation, including setting enrollment thresholds for such students, requiring African American studies programs and offering black student success programs and support services.
