ABSTRACT: Desegregation progress under the "Maryland Plan
for Completing the Desegregation of the Public Postsecondary
Institutions in the State," which spanned from 1974 to 1980,
is reviewed. The community college segment and the state
college and university segment have met their 1980 projected
ranges, but as a segment, the University of Maryland fell
short of the 1980 goal. Only the Baltimore campus of the
University of Maryland met its individual campus 1980 goal.
The historically white schools achieved a black enrollment
that was 14.3 percent of all undergraduates, while the
historically black institutions, with a black enrollment of
89.3 percent, failed to decrease their black enrollment to
the 65-69 percent projected ranges for 1980. Data are
presented on trends in graduate school and professional
school enrollment by race; headcount enrollment by
institution by race; trends in full-time and part-time
enrollment by race; trends in the distribution of black full
time undergraduates among groups of institutions; and trends
in first-time, full-time black enrollment. Data are also
presented on degrees awarded by race and degrees awarded at
traditionally white and traditionally black institutions,
degrees awarded by race and subject area; noninstructional
staff by race, full-time faculty by rank and race, and
expenditures for desegregation by college and sectors. The
1974 desegregation plan is outlined in terms of objectives
and policies. Overall, 14 of 22 predominantly white
institutions reached the 1980 ranges of black population,
and black students account for 21.3 percent of full-time
undergraduate enrollment in public institutions. (SW)

This is an ERIC database document. ERIC is the National
Education Information Network for providing ready access
to the literature of education -descriptions of exemplary
programs, research and development efforts, and related
information that can be used in developing more effective
educational programs. The ERIC database is currently
available on CD-ROM in the main library (ground floor of
the west wing) at Michigan State University. To locate
ERIC documents in the library identify the first line of
each record (i.e., the field ERIC TITLE NUMBER). ED
following ERIC TITLE NUMBER indicates an ERIC document,
an unpublished research study. Most of these items are
available in the Microforms library, located on the 3rd
floor of the west wing. All you need is the six digit ED
number. If EJ follows ERIC TITLE NUMBER the item is a
journal article. The complete journal name is listed after
the code JOURNAL.
