Title: Appropriates Funding for HBCUs

Vote Smart's Synopsis:

Vote to pass a bill that appropriates funding for historically black colleges and universities.

Highlights:

 

  • Specifies that the Maryland District Court found that the State failed to eliminate a traceable De Jure Era policy of unnecessary duplication of programs at Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), exacerbating racial identifiability (Sec. 10-21).

  • Appropriates $577 million in total to HBCUs throughout Fiscal Year 2023 to Fiscal Year 2032 (Sec. 10-24).

  • Requires the governor to appropriate at least the following amounts in the year 2023 (Sec. 15-126): 

    • $16.8 million for Bowie State University;

    • $9 million for Coppin State University;

    • $24 million for Morgan State University; and

    • $9.69 million for University of Maryland Eastern Shore.
