• Meetings

The Commission to Develop the Maryland Model for Funding Higher Education was authorized in July 2006 (Chapter 57, Acts of 2006). To ensure accessibility and affordability while promoting policies to achieve national eminence at all Maryland public institutions of higher education, the Commission was to review options for a consistent and stable funding mechanism for higher education. In this process, it also was to consider the appropriate level of funding for the State's historically black institutions to keep them comparable and competitive with other public institutions.

In December 2007, the Commission submitted an interim report, and in December 2008 a final report to the Governor and General Assembly. Authorization for the Commission expires June 1, 2009 (Chapter 45, Acts of 2008).
