Letter stated, 1862
land-grant universities were founded through
the First Morrill Act of 1862 which provided
states with federal land that could be sold
to support the colleges. Under
the Second Morrill Act of 1890, states
choosing to open a second land-grant
university to serve Black
students were
required to provide an equitable
distribution of state funds between their
1862 and 1890 land-grant institutions.

  Addressed
to Governor Roy Cooper, North Carolina A & T
State University, the 1890 land-grant
institution in your state, while producing
extraordinary graduates that contribute
greatly to the state’s economy and the
fabric of our nation, has not been able to
advance in ways that are on par with North
Carolina State University at Raleigh, the
original Morrill Act of 1862 land-grant
institution in your state, in large part
due to unbalanced funding. Unquotable
funding of the 1890 institution in your
state has caused a severe financial gap, in
the last 30 years alone, an additional $2,079,934,848 would
have been available for the university.

Title VI
of the Civil Rights Act
of 1964 (42 U.S.C.
Section 2000d) provides
that, “No person in the
United States shall, on
the ground of race,
color, or national
origin, be excluded from
participation in, be
denied the benefits of,
or be subjected to
discrimination under any
program or activity
receiving federal
financial assistance.”
The 1987 Civil Rights
Restoration Act (P.
L.100- 259) expanded the
definition of “programs
and activities” to
include all programs and
activities of federal
aid recipients,
sub-recipients and
contractors, whether
such programs and
activities are federally
assisted or not. |
