Duplicate Degrees at Black, White Colleges Sparks Debate Again

by Associated Press , January 31, 2008

Categories:

Morgan State is a traditionally Black college that has argued that the Towson program duplicated its MBA program and would lead to further segregation in Baltimore-area universities. Morgan State has had the MBA program for more than 30 years.

Maryland signed an agreement with the federal Office for Civil Rights in 2000 requiring it to work toward upgrading historically Black colleges.

A bill was passed two years ago that would have enabled institutions of higher learning to appeal MHEC decisions on course duplication to a circuit courts. But former Republican Gov. Robert Ehrlich vetoed it.

Last year, the bill died after an amendment took out the provision allowing a school to sue.
