Hey there. Good question! I don't think so because the "HBCU" designation as historical mission has been around for quite some time, and while the majority were founded during segregation because of rigid Jim Crow laws, all are integrated and open to students of any race, religion, creed, and with zero regards to sexual identification or preferences.
Just one point of information from Nicholas Mitchell in Shaun King's publication The North Star:
"So much has been omitted from this national debate, such as how schools are obligated under multiple federal laws such as Title 6 of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, Title 2 of The Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, and Title IX of the Education Amendments Act of 1972 to provide students with an inclusive educational environment free of discrimination or harassment based on race, ethnicity, disability, sexual orientation, or gender identity. But there are no more glaring omissions than what DEI is and where it comes from.
When put in its proper historical context, the policies we call DEI are modern school and university integration efforts. The goal of DEI is both an intellectual integration of curriculum and a physical integration of educational institutions. "
Is there any concern that regular tax supported funds might mean these institutions would not remain Black institutions?

Thank you, sir, for the alacrity of your response.
