Maryland community college presidents — joined by administrators, faculty and staff from around the state — spoke out in strong opposition to the proposed shifting of pension costs for community college faculty and staff, from the state to the counties.
While lawmakers are continuing to iron out final details of how that cost shift will still impact the pensions of thousands of school teachers and other public employees, the voices of community college leaders were heard as the legislation was modified to remove community college personnel form the proposal.
Several community college presidents expressed their opposition to the pension shift in newspaper commentaries and letters to the editor, which have each been posted on the MACC website.
