FAMU's Robinson to attend White House discussion on black colleges and universities
Florida A&M University interim president Larry Robinson will be attending a summit this month on historically black colleges and universities with President Trump’s staff and Republican lawmakers.
Robinson and other HBCU presidents were invited to the summit by the Thurgood Marshall College Fund.
The summit is scheduled for Feb. 27-Feb. 28 at the White House. Among those expected to meet with university presidents are U.S. Rep. Mark Walker (R-NC) and U.S. Sen. Tim Scott (R-SC), along with Omarosa Manigault, director of communications for the Office of Public Liaison in the Trump administration, and staff from the Thurgood Marshall fund.
"The university is pleased with the invitation of the Thurgood Marshall College Fund to participate in such a meaningful conversation about higher education in America,” Robinson said. “Institutions of higher education, historically black colleges and universities specifically, play a major role in the advancement and success of our great nation.”
