Maryland University System faces 23 million shortfall in 1996
Board of Regents member warns the University of Maryland System could be forced to cut spending to cover a roughly 23 million gap in fiscal year 1996. Officials say Gov Glendening's budget proposal offers only 1 percent growth, insufficient to cover cost of living adjustments, workers' compensation and operating costs. Chair Ann Hull says managing funds will be difficult and require major changes as Chancellor Donald Langenberg notes mandates must be funded from existing allocations.
