Description

Community focus > Learn more about community focus filters > Hispanic Serving Institutions - The user finds the following sentence: "A Hispanic-Serving Institution (HSI) that receives federal funding to help serve Hispanic and low-income students." This sentence is awkwardly worded and isn’t consistent with other definitions.

Please revise so the definition is clearer and consistent with the others. For example, the definition could be: "A Hispanic-Serving Institution (HSI) is an institution that receives federal funding to help serve Hispanic and low-income students."
