HBCU leaders urge expansion of Title III and TRIO programs - Historically Black colleges and universities - Washington Update

Many other cabinet-level agencies changed hands, however. At the Labor Department, Alexis M. Herman was tapped to replace outgoing secretary Robert Reich. Herman, an African American, has worked with the Labor Department at various times since the 1970s.

Other new cabinet nominees include Rodney E. Slater for secretary of Transportation, Andrew Cuomo for secretary of Housing and Urban Development, and Federico Pena for secretary of Energy.

Slater, an African American, has been an aide to Clinton since the president's terms as governor of Arkansas. Cuomo is the son of former New York Gov. Mario Cuomo (D). Pena served as secretary of transportation throughout Clinton's first term.

The nominations of Herman, Slater, Cuomo and Pena now go to the Senate, which must confirm the president's choices.
