NEW YORK (AP) — The HBCU Transformation Project, a coalition of 40 historically Black colleges and universities, on Wednesday announced a $124 million gift from philanthropic funders Blue Meridian Partners to increase enrollment, graduation rates and employment rates for the schools' graduates. “This very significantly scaled grant from them signals to the philanthropic community that this is a really good investment to make,” he said of the Blue Meridian gift. The donation will expand the work of the project, which has already received $75 million from Blue Meridian Partners since 2020. Blue Meridian Partners also provided funds to those organizations to improve their capacity to support the schools. HBCUs have received significantly less support from philanthropic foundations than predominantly white schools.

☆ Barack Obama says affirmative action 'allowed generations of students like Michelle and me to prove we belonged'

The Supreme Court ruled Thursday to end race-based affirmative action in college admissions. The Obamas each released a statement reflecting on the role affirmative action has played. Barack Obama wrote that it had allowed students like him and Michelle "to prove we belonged." "Like any policy, affirmative action wasn't perfect," Barack Obama, who attended Columbia University and Harvard Law School, wrote. But still, I sometimes wondered if people thought I got there because of affirmative action.

☆ How Chipotle's chief people officer steered the chain through a tumultuous year by focusing on employee well-being

Marissa Andrada is chief diversity, inclusion, and people officer at Chipotle.

In 2020, Chipotle promoted nearly 11,000 employees, HR Dive reported, and more than 70% of the chain's general managers came up internally. In a statement provided to Insider, Chipotle Chief Corporate Affairs Officer Laurie Schalow said the lawsuit was a "dramatic overreach."
