Stand Up, Fight Back: Strategies for HSI Advocacy
What do we do when the federal government attacks HSIs? Stand up, fight back!!!! Amanda Fuchs Miller, former Deputy Assistant Secretary for Higher Education Programs at the US Department of Education, who oversaw all Title III and V programs during the Biden-Harris administration, discusses the current political climate for HSIs and offers strategies for advocating for Title III and Title V funding. We talk about how the current administration has attacked enrollment-based MSIs in unprecedented ways despite these institutions having bipartisan support for over three decades. Amanda explains that while HSIs remain constitutional and statutorily defined, the administration has chosen not to defend the programs in court and has reprogrammed discretionary funding away from HSIs and other enrollment-based MSIs to HBCUs and TCUs. Amanda recommends that HSIs apply for SIP (Strengthening Institutions Program) grants as an alternative funding source, since these have similar eligibility requirements but without the racial/ethnic enrollment-based criteria. She emphasizes the need for aggressive advocacy, including meetings with Congress members and their staff, litigation on mandatory funding, and coalition building with other stakeholders. The episode concludes with Amanda encouraging the HSI community to tell their stories to members of Congress who are currently in their home districts.

Building a Diverse Nursing Workforce: The Role of HSIs
What is the role of HSIs in building a diverse nursing workforce? With intentionality and partnership, HSIs can and should train bilingual, bicultural nurses. In this episode Dr. Garcia welcomes Dr. Tina Loarte-Rodriguez, Executive Director of the Connecticut Center for Nursing Workforce and founder/author of Latinas in Nursing. The conversation addresses critical gaps in nursing diversity, noting that only 7-8% of the nation's 5 million nurses identify as Latinx despite Latinxs representing 30% of the population. Dr. Loarte-Rodriguez shares her personal journey from often being the only Latina in nursing settings to creating resources for representation and belonging in healthcare, including her book Latinas in Nursing and the follow-up Latinos in Nursing. She offers strategies for HSIs to increase Latinx representation in nursing through partnerships with state nursing workforce centers and community organizations. We also discuss barriers facing Latinx nursing students, including financial constraints from recent federal loan restrictions that cap graduate borrowing. The episode emphasizes the need for culturally relevant nursing curricula, bilingual training for heritage Spanish speakers, and increased Latina faculty representation in nursing programs.
