Setback for University of Maryland Home Rule Repeal
ANNAPOLIS March 11 The move to repeal the University of Maryland home rule powers stalled as the House Education Committee voted 14 to 2 against the bill. University president H. C. Byrd defended independent hiring and contracting, while sponsor Whitworth argued the university should not have freedoms not given to other state departments. The bill’s fate shifts to the floor amid a broader session with radar speed enforcement and Chesapeake Bay fishing legislation under discussion.
