	ED: Lists of Postsecondary Minority Institutions
		This list does not include Asians or Pacific Islanders, because IPEDS enrollment data does not disaggregate Pacific Islanders from Asians.
		Under §365(2) of the HEA, Pacific Islanders also are considered to be minorities for purposes of the Minority Science and Engineering Improvement Program (MSEIP).
		Thus an institution may have an enrollment of Asian-American students that would be counted in its minority student population, and therefore be eligible to apply for the Strengthening Institutions Program, although that institution would not be found on this list as a “minority institution”.
