The University System of Maryland will cut 175 jobs and freeze hiring under a plan to trim $37.8-million from its budget for the 2010 academic year, the Baltimore Sun reported. Because the cuts include “a fair number of adjunct and part-time faculty” members, according to the system’s chancellor, William E. Kirwan, who submitted the plan, students may find fewer sections of some courses and fuller classes.

Dear colleagues of the USM. I lived through the “Hard Times” series Kirwan. While increadibly painful and one of the reasons I left the state after 10 years as a faculty member, things will turn around and there are some wonderful institutions in the system. This is cold comfort perhaps but the long-term is usually the best focus in times such as these. Good luck.
