V. Final Remarks
I ask you to reward quality and
compensate achievement. Your past support for higher education has
produced remarkable successes for all of the USM institutions, perhaps
Salisbury University most of all. Please do not undo what you so
painstakingly and productively fostered.
Higher education is the present and
future economic engine in Maryland, producing an educated workforce and
citizenry, attracting businesses and individuals who come to Maryland,
and providing technological innovations and value-added services to our
communities. Public higher education is deserving of your support.
Please support adequate, equitable
funding for Salisbury University and all USM institutions.
Thank you, Mr. Chairman and members of
your Subcommittee, for your time, attention, and thoughtful
consideration.
