Not from Maryland, so don't understand all the specifics, but if I understand what I read in the link, they are trying to increase enrollments at HBC, by forcing popular fields of study to be removed from other colleges and moved to HBC. It does sound that at one time, the state government did dictate what could be offered at the HBC, so apparently this plan is to remedy past issues.

So for the major that my degree was in, Engineering, it would no longer be offered at Towson any longer, so I would be forced to enroll in for example at Morgan State if I wanted to enter that major, thus increasing enrollment at Morgan and decreasing it at Towson. Why cant it be offered at both and why is the state government so controlling of that?

We of course have many great State colleges in Michigan, but the curriculums are not dictated by the State. Michigan State U does have the only Veterinary college in Michigan, but I cant imagine a scenario where it would be stripped and moved to Wayne State in Detroit to boost their enrollment.
