UM President Sees Deep Maryland Education Cuts
Dr Kirwan, appointed president of the College Park campus in 1909, warned Rotary members that state education cuts in Maryland have deepened beyond earlier estimates. He cited six funding reductions in 14 years, resulting in layoffs and the loss of hundreds of positions. He urged residents to contact legislators and noted the university's role as flagship campus under a 1988 plan to unify public colleges.
