Maryland AG’s office rejects education commission’s approval of similar degrees at Morgan State, Towson

The Maryland Higher Education Commission’s decision to approve a degree program at Towson University that is similar to one at Morgan State University did not have legal standing, according to the Maryland attorney general’s office. Morgan State is a historically Black school, and some argue that the commission’s approval falls into Maryland’s history of allowing duplicative programs that have brought harm to historically Black colleges and universities.
