No fired per channel 7.

This will be huge lawsuit unless they can agree to a buyout. Sounds like Loh went rogue and against the Board knowing he was on his way out anyway. What a mess.
On the other hand my senior DD is just submitted her application. Maybe this will result in a drop in applications and boost her chances.

It's not a good look for what was not considered a top-tier school even before the latest mess.

I agree. University of Maryland College Park has many excellent departments and outstanding professors. It’s reputation as a serious research university was improving. This recent mess makes the Regents look like a bunch of clowns. I would be reluctant to send my kid to a university that discounts the opinion of its own President.

That's kinda moronic isn't it?
