HSIs play a critical role in educating young Hispanic-Americans and creating opportunity for the economies in which these institutions are embedded. HSIs are located in 29 states, as well as in the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico. Florida has 14 HSIs.

The Senate passed the resolution.
The resolution is supported by the Hispanic Association of Colleges and Universities.
