Whereas Hispanic-Serving Institutions are degree-granting institutions with a 
        full-time-equivalent undergraduate enrollment of 25 percent or more 
        Hispanic students;
Whereas there are currently approximately 260 Hispanic-Serving Institutions in 
        the United States;

        contributes to the strength and culture of the United States;
Whereas the achievements and goals of Hispanic-Serving Institutions are 
        deserving of national recognition; and
