State colleges and universities are relying more on tuition dollars to fund their operations even as state funding rises and colleges come under pressure to keep tuition low.

The association represents chief executives of statewide governing, policy and coordinating boards of postsecondary education.
Tuition dollars are becoming a more important revenue source as more students head to college, tuition prices rise, and state lawmakers struggle to return higher education funding to the per-student levels seen before the Great Recession.

Has anyone considered that former Political figures (O'Malley) are being funded by taxpayers by introducing these kind of people as educators? They are no longer even lying to you. Just collecting.
I need to ask WHY. I obtained a full Johns Hopkins degree by attending classes at night while raising 2 children. Why can't the new generation educate themselves like I did? Are their drug addiction costs too much? If so, why do the Maryland "rulers" feel that Medical weed is necessary? Do we pay teachers too much? Do we even need ANOTHER adduceable substance?
Ever looked at the enormous pay for sports directors? A 10% cut in their
salaries should cover a tuition increase, in addition to the general
requirements.
