In a 27-19 vote, the Senate approved a bill to permit the Maryland Higher Education Commission to review its decision allowing Towson University and the University of Baltimore to offer a master?s in business administration.
MSU opposed Towson?s MBA program and if either university loses the commission?s review of the program, they can take the decision to court. Morgan is separate from the state University System of Maryland and has its own Board of Trustees.
Sen. James Brochin, D-Baltimore County, had fought the bill, and he said University Chancellor William Kirwan told him: “We?re going to be the only university in the country to allow one university in the system to sue another university in the system.”
