STILL Capitol Hill Nem WASHINGTON, D.C.-Strong partnership efforts between tha U.S. Dapartmant of Agriculture and 17 predominantly black land-grand collagaa and universities must ba expanded, Charles R. Hilty, associ ate deputy director of agriculture, declared here during a two-day ■ympoeium of the 100-year-old insti tutions. Officials of the 17 1890 Land Grant institutions established by Congress, with the USDA, met to analyze the progress made since the partnership with historically black colleges and universities was forged at a similar symposium in Nash ville, Tenn. in 1988. Representatives of the govern- r ment and the institutions also con vened to plan the next steps needed to strengthen the HBCUs during the current debate over continuing gov ernment support to the institutions formerly segregated by federal and state laws. Hilty said the USDA needs a strong partnsrship with the 17 HBCUs to most the agricultural challenges and opportunities of the next century, including the need for a diverse workforce. The first USDA/1990 symposium in the 100-year-old program, three years ago, resultedin several recom mendations to strengthen the part nsrship and significant progress has been mads toward implementing those recommendations, Hilty said. He cited the establishment of USDA offices staffed with liaisons at each of the 17 campuses; increased USDA finding to tits 1890 Institutions, Including# capacity building grants program; a summer intern program for students at the schools and greatly increased usd of the federal excess pars nal property programs for the 1890 HBCUs. Hilty said the goals of the sympo sium sure to develop specific strate gies and recommendations to far ther enhance the institutions and expand their involvement in the delivery of USDA programs, as well as increase the number of minority students majoring in agricultural sciences, forestry and related fields. “Finding ways to increase agricul tural exports, developing new uses for agricultural products, solving environmental problems and pro viding sound nutritional education for all citizens are just a few of the challenges and opportunities which face us," the director said. "The agri cultural community needs the crea tive and innovative talents of a di verse workforce to successfully meet the challenges.” The 17 colleges and universities, known collectively as the 1890 Insti tutions based upon lthe 1890 Morrill Act which authorised states to es tablish land-grant colleges and uni versities for black students, are: Alabama A&M Univsrsity, Huntsville; Alcorn State University, Lorman, Miss.; the University of i Arkansas at Pina Bluff; Delaware State College, Dover, Florida A&M University, Tallahassee; Fort Val ley (Ga.)
