[img]State of Mississippi has shortchanged Alcorn State University $257,807,216 in agricultural funds from the federal government over the last 30 years, U.S. Secretary of Education Miguel Cardona and U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Thomas Vilsack wrote in a letter on Sept. 18, 2023. The Second Morrill Act of 1890 states that in order to establish a second land-grant college for the purpose of creating racially separate colleges, a state must distribute federal land-grant funds equitably between the institutions.[/img]
From the article. The author only goes back to 1973. The law he quotes said if a 2nd land grant university was created to keep the races separate the funds must be distributed equally. I’d argue since the CRA and end of segregation that it no longer applies since the Universities are no longer kept separate by race by law
