Now, the University of Maryland has under the
|
|
2
|
Legislative Autonomy Act, I believe it was in 1953 when
|
|
3
|
finally passed, has been able to have a considerable
|
|
4
|
amount of autonomy of this type and this act is fairly
|
|
5
|
broad along the lines that the authority of the Board
|
|
6
|
of Regents shall not be superseded by any other board or
|
|
7
|
commission of State government. Of course, the problem
|
|
G
|
here is that that can be changed at any given session of t
|
|
9
|
legislature and this makes much less permanence in the
|
|
10
|
government of the Board.

MR. ENEY: Would you suggest, for example,
|
|
12
|
that there be included in the Constitution provisions
|
|
13
|
with respect to the budget of the University of Maryland
|
|
14
|
similar to the provisions in the budget amendment with
|
|
15
|
respect to public education?
|
|
16
|
DR. KUHN: I think the principle is the same,
|
|
17
|
sir.
|
|
18
|
MR. ENEY: Would you extend this principle of
|
|
19
|
limiting or cutting off the power of the purchaser's
|
|
20
|
strings to institutions of higher education other than
|
|
21
|
the University of Maryland?
