This is the problem with monetizing our public universities. We know that far too much public money is being sent to a handful of what are global and corporate university campuses while mid-size universities and colleges are being starved of funding. These are the colleges that will handle most of Maryland’s students while U of M has a marketing arm that recruits students from wealthy overseas families.

So, Loeschke failed to handle a bad situation properly, but the real problem lies with the state’s stance on prioritizing public money for maximizing corporate profits rather than all student’s learning experiences.
