Martin University

A funding cut for the state’s only predominantly Black college is raising alarms, after Gov. Mike Braun released his budget proposal.

Martin received $5 million in the 2023-25 state budget, which the university used to attract and retain Black students to its teaching, criminal justice and STEM programs.

Martin University President Sean Huddleston announces a plan Oct. 6, 2022, to reduce tuition by 45 percent and forgive up to $10,000 in student debt.
