The Chronicle: Maryland Approves In-State Tuition Break for Undocumented Students

Maryland will become the 11th state to extend in-state college-tuition breaks to illegal immigrants under a measure state legislators approved late Monday, the Baltimore Sun reported. The bill will enable undocumented students who have attended Maryland high schools for at least three years, and whose families pay state taxes, to pay cheaper in-state tuition rates at community colleges. After completing 60 credit hours, students could transfer to a four-year state college, also at the in-state rate. Gov. Martin O’Malley is expected to sign the measure into law on Tuesday.

Inside Higher Ed: Montgomery College Trustees Oust Its President

The Board of Trustees at Montgomery College voted late Thursday to end the presidency of Brian K. Johnson, amid faculty discontent over his alleged misspending and reports that he faces prison time in Arizona for non-payment of child support. The faculty at the two-year institution in Washington’s Maryland suburbs voted no confidence in Johnson last week, citing evidence they’d accumulated that he had spent tens of thousands of dollars on questionable expenses. And Thursday, The Washington Times reported that police officers in Arizona have a warrant out for his arrest that would land him in jail if he returned to the state. In a statement, the chairman of the college’s board said it had decided not to renew Johnson’s contract and had placed him on administrative leave immediately. Johnson came to Montgomery College from the Community College of Allegheny County just two years ago.
