A federal judge has ruled that State of Maryland has failed to provide a remedy to diversify academic programs at its four HBCUs. The ruling also rejected a plan by civil rights groups aimed at putting the state's HBCUs on a competitive playing field with traditionally white universities.

Legal groups representing Morgan State University, Coppin State University, The University of Maryland Eastern Shore and Bowie State University have argued in the State of Maryland,  HBCU academic programs were duplicated and has given to traditionally white schools. This practice ultimately impacts students at HBCUs.

Brenda Shum, Director of the Educational Opportunities Project for the Lawyers Committee for Civil Rights Under the Law spoke with Roland Martin on NewsOne Now about the ruling on HBCUs in Maryland.
