Morgan State University in Baltimore is one of 12 new schools being investigated by the U.S. Department of Education. 

The Department has added the 12 colleges and universities to its growing list of educational institutions being scrutinized for their handling of sexual abuse allegations. 

In May, the Department's Office for Civil Rights made public the names of schools under investigation for possible violations of Title IX, which prohibits gender discrimination at institutions receiving federal funds. It pledged to update the log on a weekly basis. The most recent version of the list was published on Wednesday, and now includes 67 schools.
