ANNAPOLIS (AP) â A federal judge has approved a $577 million settlement in a lawsuit over underfunding at Marylandâs four historically Black colleges and universities.
The deal approved Wednesday will provide $555 million in extra funding over 10 years, beginning in 2023, for Bowie State University, Coppin State University, Morgan State University in Baltimore and the University of Maryland, Eastern Shore.
The total amount includes $22 million in legal costs for the plaintiffs who spent 15 years litigating these claims.
The lawsuit accused Maryland of underfunding the institutions while developing programs at traditionally white schools that directly competed with them, draining away prospective students.
In 2013, U.S. District Judge Catherine C. Blake found that the state had maintained âa dual and segregated education systemâ that violated the Constitution. Blake issued an order Wednesday stating the settlement adequately addresses the problem.
