 University of Maryland, College Park - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In a massive 1988 restructuring of the state higher education system, the school was designated as the flagship campus of the newly formed University System of Maryland and was formally named University of Maryland, College Park.
However, in 1997 the Maryland General Assembly passed legislation allowing the University of Maryland, College Park to be known simply as the University of Maryland, recognizing the campus's role as the flagship institution of the University System of Maryland.
The other University System of Maryland institutions with the name "University of Maryland" are not satellite campuses of the University of Maryland, College Park, and are not referred to as such.

 The New York Review of Books: Colleges: An Endangered Species?
Later in that decade, in part because of competitive pressure from public rivals, Yale and most of its private peers opened their doors to women, and the push was on to recruit students from "underrepresented" (to use today's stipulated bureaucratic language) minority groups.
Public funds now cover less than one third of expenses at public universities—with the result that tuitions are rising beyond the reach of families who once would have depended on these institutions as pathways of upward mobility.
Naturally, private universities, taking advantage of the opportunities, have been raiding public universities for leading faculty, whose salaries and working conditions have declined relative to those of their private-sector counterparts.

 Petro wants to revamp public universities | wkyc.com
He's proposing a plan to restructure public higher education and offer the option of "charter universities."
Petro -- who plans to seek the Republican nomination for governor next year -- says that instead of boards of trustees for every school, there should be two boards of regents, one for the 13 four-year schools and one for the 23 two-year community and technical schools.
He also suggests allowing a school to "opt out" of the state system and become a charter university, meaning it would get a lower level of state funding but be largely free from state mandates.

 School Vouchers (Ohio ESL)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
In the United States, there is a long tradition of tax-supported and state-administered 'public' schools.
There is also a traditional argument that says that such tax-based funding is unfair to those without children, or to those who choose to educate their children at home or in religious or other private schools.
Recently, some people have suggested that instead of, or in addition to, support for public (state-controlled) schools, government should provide financial support for parents who choose to educate their children in private schools through a system of School Vouchers (often called "school choice" by supporters) which parents could 'spend' at public or other schools.
