ANNAPOLIS, Md. (AP) — Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan is signing a measure to settle a long-running federal lawsuit related to underfunding at the state’s four historically Black colleges and universities for $577 million over a decade.
Hogan is scheduled to attend a bill signing Wednesday afternoon with lawmakers at Bowie State University. Hogan vetoed a similar bill last year after citing economic difficulties created by the COVID-19 pandemic. The General Assembly passed a new measure last week.

The lawsuit was first filed in federal court in 2006.
