Democrat cries foul as Braun scraps Holcomb-era grants for Martin University

Republican Governor Mike Braun's budget proposal does not include funding for Martin University, Indiana's only predominantly Black institution, or the College Success Program, totaling $10 million over the last two years.
Braun's spokesperson described the funding as 'one-time funding' and referred to the Commission for Higher Education for further details.
Democrat Representative Greg Porter criticized Braun's actions as 'racist' and emphasized that Black Hoosiers deserve equitable benefits from the state budget.
Martin University officials are aware of the funding cuts but remain focused on their mission to serve students and the community despite the challenges ahead.
