Sojourner–Douglass College

On July 1, 2015, Sojourner–Douglass College sued the Middle States Commission on Higher Education for violating the Civil Rights Act of 1866 by revoking their accreditation.

[6] On August 24, 2015, U.S. District Judge Ellen Lipton Hollander ruled against restoring Sojourner-Douglass's accreditation, while the college's lawsuit against the Middle States Commission on Higher Education was allowed to move forward.

In addition to denying the request for an injunction, Hollander dismissed two counts in the lawsuit, racial discrimination and breach of contract, without prejudice.

[9] In August 2016, the City of Baltimore listed the Eastern Female building on a foreclosure auction and sold it in 2017 despite the college leadership's objections.

Satellite campuses were located in other areas in Maryland (Annapolis, Cambridge, Salisbury, Owings Mills, and Lanham) as well as in Nassau, Bahamas.
