“We put the money in up front, and then that allows them not to have to pass as much of the cost onto in-state students when they set their tuition and their budget for the year,” O’Malley said. “And every year, it’s a bit of a negotiation.”
Initially, the University System of Maryland wanted a 5 percent tuition increase, but through funding from the state, the governor’s office was able to push it down to a 3 percent cap, said O’Malley’s press secretary, Nina Smith.

Small dose of reality to the young, ideological college crowd who voted for this.
Just what kids, and their families, need! More debt!
what do you expect... o'faily wants to be with obama bin laden so he will do as he does...
Too bad the wrong people are gonna get this money!
I'm OK with the tuition hike - too many idiots find their way to college graduation that aren't smart enough to push a broom!
When the "in-state tuition for illegal immigrants" law was passed, no one even questioned how it would be paid for. Now you see the results. I propose a law that says if you vote Democrat you will have to pay a fee of $500. That money will go to illegals to help them with their college expenses.
1:12, your number is waaaay tooooo loooow! Add a zero for their stuuuuupidity!
Like tuition isn't grossly overpriced now.
That's to help pay for the illegals tutition.
3:399 And to continue the fraudulent pretense of qualification from UMES and UMBC.
(For those graduates, let me spell it out: your fake college degree is the equivalent of a freshmen in high school in a real academic environment)
If his lips are moving..... It's all posturing to impress low info folks in Iowa and New Hampshire. Hey Iowa corn farmers, you gonna love a rain tax, too!
@12:35,
I think you will be disappointed to find out that the majority of O'Malleys supporters are not the young but hey if it makes you feel better believe what your little mind tells you.

Right, just what we need, more people growing up who will not be able to find a decent job due to a lack of college education. Have fun paying for their food stamps.
did you ever look at the U of MD football coach & professors' salaries?
