EPA Removes Information About its HBCU and Minority Serving Institutions Advisory Council

In April 2025, the EPA removed information about its Historically Black Colleges and Universities and Minority Serving Institutions (HBCU-MSI) Advisory Council. The EPA deleted the webpage dedicated to this advisory council along with its entry from the landing page for all Federal Advisory Committees at EPA. The EPA’s Office of Public Engagement and Environmental Education landing page deleted all information about working with HBCU-MSIs, including a paragraph and multiple links describing EPA’s activities with HBCU-MSIs and the HBCU-MSI Advisory Council.
