Here’s a note someone sent to me on a development in Maryland.

I don’t know if you have heard, but the Maryland General Assembly is asserting itself into higher education issues.
1. The House of Delegates passed a bill that would allow illegal immigrants in-state tuition to state schools. The Senate is considering the issue this week.
2. There is another bill passed by the Senate that would require the state’s higher education commission to reconsider its 2005 decision to allow Towson University to start its MBA program because it duplicates an MBA program at historically black Morgan State University. The issue would most likely end up in court because no matter the commission’s decision either party will most likely sue.
Morgan’s MBA program has languished over the years while Towson boasts one of the best undergraduate business programs in the country and saw a need and interest for an MBA program.
Here is a link to a Baltimore Sun article on the issue.
