The Hispanic Association of Colleges and Universities (HACU)
joined with 29 other leading Latino organizations in releasing the National
Hispanic Leadership Agenda’s (NHLA) 2012 Public
Policy Agenda, a comprehensive document addressing critical issues facing
the Latino community and the nation as a whole.
Some of the most pressing concerns
shared by HACU and NHLA are: the enactment of comprehensive immigration reform
and the DREAM Act; the incorporation of science, technology, engineering, and
mathematics (STEM) education along the educational pipeline; and increased
funding and support of Hispanic-Serving Institutions (HSIs).
HACU was represented by Serena Davila at the NHLA news conference. To view video of C-SPAN’s coverage on the release of the agenda, click here.
