unnecessarily duplicative or unproductive, taking into account
the missions of the institutions, student demand, and economic
efficiency; and the Board shall act to promote the most efficient

utilization of resources in the interests of the State. The

University of Maryland System should share with Morgan State
University the responsibility for providing doctoral and research
