@apm,
They turned down the merger plan I think that would have been the better course. I think UMB was afraid that in an outright merger, the Baltimore campus would become a stepchild over time. So the story you posted is a “half way” step.



UMB is the graduate school in Baltimore. UMB didn’t want the merge because they don’t want to have to share their research money with the UMCP. There is no advantage to the graduate school(medicine, pharmacy, law) to support UMCP. The state is just trying to shift its responsibility.
