Current and former students of Lincoln University of Missouri filed a lawsuit Wednesday alleging that the state has underfunded the historically Black university for decades and treated it unequally compared with the University of Missouri.
The plaintiffs are seeking almost $549 million from Missouri. They want the money placed in a fund for campus repairs and other university needs, according to The Hill. STLPR reported that the complaint alleges nearly $362 million in underfunding.
The case centers on a law governing the allocation of certain state funds. Reports from KOMU 8 and KRCG also describe the lawsuit as alleging unequal state funding, with KRCG identifying the University of Missouri as the institution used for comparison.
