Gov. Wes Moore appoints a nearly entire new membership for Maryland Higher Education Commission​

July 18, 2023

Maryland Gov. Wes Moore (D) announced Monday the appointments of former college presidents, educators and nonprofit leaders to the state’s Higher Education Commission, nearly turning over the entire membership of the panel that oversees statewide higher education policies.

The Maryland Higher Education Commission is the state’s higher education regulatory and coordinating board, responsible for establishing statewide policies for Maryland public and private colleges and universities, as well as for the for-profit career schools. The commission also administers $130 million in financial assistance to more than 65,000 Maryland students each year.

The commission consists of twelve members appointed by the governor with the advice and consent of the Senate. One member is a student, serving a one-year term; all other members are appointed for five-year terms

The governor appointed Catherine “Cassie” Motz, executive director of the CollegeBound Foundation in Baltimore, to serve as chair.
Six other new appointees to the board are: Charlene Mickens Dukes, former president of Prince George’s Community College; Chike Aguh, a senior fellow at Northeastern University’s Burnes Center for Social Change and former chief innovation officer at the U.S. Department of Labor; Sheila Thompson, former national research coordinator with the Progress in International Reading Literacy Study; Mickey L. Burnim, former president of Bowie State University; Janet Wormack, former vice president for administration and finance at Salisbury University; and Tanya Johnson, a student commissioner who attends Morgan State University.
An eighth person, Rebecca Taber Staeheline, was appointed by Moore and confirmed by the Senate earlier this year.
According to the governor’s office, Taber Staeheline will serve the remainder of a five-year term through June 30, 2026, after former State Superintendent of Schools Karen Salmon resigned. Dukes will serve the remaining term that began July 1, 2022, for former commissioner James Coleman.

That's partly why I added +1 to each of the MD schools in the Rate this HBCU series.

Not a chance in hell. The state Congress wouldn't approve it anyway (Reparations) and in some miracle it did happen, he'd lose re-election.

Good, I figured a Black governor would start doing Maryland HBCUs right. I was looking at some stuff and I would argue MD is the #2 best state for public HBCUs following North Carolina

If he loses he loses...I don't think he gonna be much different than Hogan. Marylanders are owed Reparations and he needs to be the one.

This is a great step! Gov. Moore has made some very sound moves since taking office, and I can forsee him declaring a Presidential run one day.

He already different from Hogan in that he actually gives a fukk about Baltimore

I could see Gov. Moore introducing a reparations plan in his second term. I think he's throwing jabs now so he can start landing uppercuts before he leaves office.

This is a good foundation to start from. Now the real work can begin to make sure Maryland's HBCUs are funded fairly. I will contact my youngest sister (the one I helped raise) to see her thoughts on this too. She went to UMES for undergrad.

He restructured the redline on the light rail yet?

I hope so man. I was telling my brehs from college, state based reparations is the only way

I think that our best chance of getting reparations is if they're state based. Then maybe we can get something going on a federal level.

Breh been in office for six months. Give him some time

Reparations isn't a political priority at the moment. Its dessert. It's not the main course. He's got a lot of work to do before even entertaining that.
