what words an EO could contain that would make an instant difference
well, as someone in federal procurement, off the top of my head, prioritize their socio-economic classification for procurement opportunities.
Also, availability and ease of grants.
Those are just two I came up with and pretty easy to initiate and expedite.

Nowhere does it say what the EO would actually do. Anyone know?

While HBCUs are extremely unneceesary and a waste of funds and I wish they would receive 0 public funding, I must admit that it will be a joy to watch liberals' heads spin over this.

The badmouthing of Obama & the Dems is spot on but there's a whole lot of stupid regarding what Reps have or will do.

Never fully understood the draw to HBCU's. They seem very racist in nature. All while HWCU's accept minorities at alarming rates over more qualified white people.

Hmm...
It’s not fair that Democrats didn’t see this coming, and only sees HBCUs as catalysts for momentum among black voters during election cycles. It’s not fair that the NAACP, the Urban League and other black advocacy groups put HBCU support on the backburner for generations, remained silent when Democratic leaders neglected these schools, but now want to broker with the Trump Administration behind the scenes in support of the same institutions.
It’s not fair that trustees, alumni, and students will turn their backs on every HBCU president who sits to meet with Trump and other Republican lawmakers in the next week because they will emotionally react to engagement built upon mutual political and financial interests. And it’s not fair that we have to view their emotional reaction as purely emotional because we don’t have enough money to justify it as logical

He could take federal funding from places like UC Berkley who don't allow free speech and then invest it in HBCUs.
That thought crossed my mind.

Omarosa Manigault is working with Trump on a new executive order to aid ailing HBCU. According to Buzzfeed News, the President was shocked to find out how some schools have been suffering during the Obama administration.
Trump will keep his promises, including being the President to ALL people. Only pandering Democrat types would question why he would work to help everyone.

Fun Fact: If you're white, and attend a HBCU, you qualify for a minority ROTC scholarship. Had a buddy in high school who went that route.

I wonder how the Dems are going to spin this as racist?
It would be undeniably racist to have an EO that was aimed at a certain set of schools simply because of the race of the students.

HBCUs certainly were needed in the past, during the Jim Crow era, etc.
These days I don't think there's much of a point. Unless your degree has an Ivy-league school, or something like MIT next to it, most businesses don't care. Maybe really specific places like Law Firms, but things like computer science don't give two flips where your degree is from.

its not that much better. it didn't say what was going to be done.

I hate this pandering bullshite. Schools like Grambling are shitty and don't deserve to be propped up.
Posted on 2/8/17 at 10:21 am to ladyluckUGA
So does this mean you Trump supporters will stop the race-resent posts about black students?

“It’s not fair that in the last 24 hours, Trump and his cabinet has generated more goodwill between the White House and black colleges than Obama was disinclined to even feign in three commencement speeches and eight national HBCU week conferences — none of which he attended,” Carter Jr. wrote on Saturday. “And with one executive order unique to HBCU federal support, Trump could become one of the greatest advocates black colleges have ever seen.”
wow
