PM | - Tyler McIntosh © 2025 Slippery Rock University Athletics Thanks for visiting Justin Dunmyre doesn’t remember exactly when he was told that Frostburg State University was facing a deficit “I was shocked,” the mathematics professor and faculty senate chair said of the university’s $7.7 million deficit The deficit was formally announced in August the public university in Western Maryland had eliminated some teaching positions and announced other cost-cutting measures 260-acre campus has also closed buildings they deemed underutilized cut athletics funding and merged administrative departments in an effort to get the deficit under control Besides shrinking enrollment and issues with the FAFSA The Baltimore Banner thanks its sponsors. Become one. “We knew we were facing financial difficulties and then the state rescinded more funding,” Delia said earlier this month The cuts to higher education were expected “Policymakers typically see universities as being more flexible because they can raise their tuition,” said Amy Li a professor specializing in the finance of higher education at the Florida International University Moore’s budget projected tuition would rise by 2.2% across the university system The University of Maryland College Park should be fine, Li said. UMD President Darryll Pines said last month that the university will “probably not” be able to give out cost-of-living and merit raises which they’ve given to employees over the last five fiscal years but there likely won’t be any major changes at the flagship institution “Policymakers typically don’t see them as access institutions that really need the funding to serve students who are from underprivileged backgrounds but they’re also not a part of this elite group of universities that can be selective and have other ways to keep operations going,” Li said A loss of some state funding is highly unlikely to cause a public university to close in Maryland but it could alter the way the colleges run providing a sort of “death by a thousand cuts” scenario later on Frostburg is expecting an additional $3.1 million slashed from its $109 million annual budget “FSU will tighten our belts as much as possible without impacting the quality of the education we provide to students to meet the budget requirements asked of us,” Delia said in a statement after the governor’s budget proposal was unveiled be looking carefully at ways we can decrease costs and increase revenues in the coming year.” it’s just the latest in a series of financial blows According to an email from the president’s office to faculty and staff in August the state cut the university’s budget by $1 million last summer and did not “fully support” other rising costs like funding for cost-of-living adjustments and merit raises the state announced a significant cut to existing state budgets requiring FSU to reduce state funding by an additional $546,000 leaving the cut to Frostburg at more than $1.5 million,” the email read the state university will see cuts of over $4 million Frostburg leaders determined last summer they’d need to cut about 45 tenure and tenure-track faculty positions who once served as the college’s acting president But that number shrank dramatically thanks to professors who were retiring and won’t be replaced non-tenure-track instructors will not have their contracts renewed; 11 adjunct faculty will not be called back; and three tenure-track faculty members and one tenured faculty member will be laid off Frostburg State is saving about $4.875 million from that The student-to-faculty ratio will rise to about 16 to 1 which Delia said is more realistic for the university especially the retirement of professors who have been at the university for decades impacts both the faculty and student experience “You don’t typically have students coming up to the faculty saying ‘Are you OK?’ But they have been,” he said “They’re noticing that we’re beaten down.” Students will also be less likely to take the classes they want with the student-to-faculty ratio increasing “I don’t think every department is going to be able to offer every program that it has offered,” he said “Students are going to start seeing fewer options and I don’t think that’s to their benefit.” Leadership is also changing. President Ronald Nowaczyk, who served at the helm of the university since 2016, announced suddenly in mid-January that he would depart at the end of the month Dunmyre said he’s never seen morale this low “It’s hard to pick up new projects if you’re worried about whether or not you’ll still have a job,” he said Staff and faculty relations have really strained.” With new higher education cuts on the horizon “I think that other schools in the system are going to go through retrenchment there’s not doubt in my mind about that,” he said This reporting is part of The Banner’s Education Hub, community-funded journalism that provides parents with resources they need to make decisions about how their children learn.

Charlton's limited time in Frostburg was limiting for investigators But that's not to say there weren't suspects a lot of them just never panned out," Taylor told WMAR "We actually even put a trooper undercover in college for about two months to try to sum up some kind of information dig up something and nothing really panned out." Maryland State Police hope a college program a state over can help them in the investigative process dubbed the "Unsolved Case Project" is helmed by Tiffany Edwards a teaching assistant professor at the Department of Forensic and Investigative Science at West Virginia University "Just because the case may have been 40 years [ago] we talk about her case every day," Edwards explained Edwards told WMAR the project's participants 'immersed ourselves' in the Charlton case Students have visited the Frostburg campus twice developed spatial relationship maps and family trees so if the case isn't solved in the near future it will be easier for investigators down the line to reabsorb "It's kind of a two for one," Edwards said but this is also giving our students incredible exposure and incredible experience to apply the skill sets that they're learning here which is going to help make them even better when they get into the field themselves." Edwards described the program adds a perspective from students near Joan Ann's age and helps with the workload on Maryland State Police "so they see things a little different than seasoned investigators or people who are in a different time of their life." she has such a bright future with academics and she had goals that she wanted to do with regards to the sciences It's been over 40 years since Charlton's murder Taylor believes the passage of time gives way to a growing conscience "I think it's human nature for people to want to talk I think people eventually tell somebody," he said If you have a Cold Case you'd like us to highlight please contact us at storyideas@wmar.com or jack.watson@wmar.com Thanks for visiting Game Recap: Women's Lacrosse | 2/28/2025 9:47:00 PM | Taylor Brown Associate Director of Sports Information & Media Relations The Gannon women's lacrosse team opened their season with a hard-fought 18-12 loss to Frostburg State at Bobcat Stadium on Friday afternoon Despite Caroline Stevens' (Syracuse N.Y./Liverpool) strong offensive performance and a late surge in the fourth quarter the Golden Knights were unable to overcome the Bobcats' offensive efforts British Columbia/Maple Ridge Secondary) added goals to keep the game close but Frostburg held a 4-3 lead after the first quarter Gannon found momentum in the second quarter, as Avrey Kirisits' (Lancaster N.Y./Lancaster Central) man-up goal tied the game at 5-5 Frostburg responded with a quick scoring run The third quarter proved to be a turning point, with Gannon struggling to generate offense while Frostburg extended their lead to 10-6.

Art Perlo donated the papers of his father African American steelworker Joe Henderson Gillespie told of receiving a phone call from lawyer Tom Kapantais Gillespie drove with two muscular FSU staff workers to Huntington We stopped at a weigh station on the way back,” Gillespie said and peace literature rivals other left-progressive book collections including the Tamiment at New York University Reuther Collection at Wayne State University and the Harry Bridges Collection at the University of Washington is the collection of pamphlets with four or five requests each week from other libraries and researchers seeking these rare treasures of the class struggle some of them more than a century old Wheeler explained that Meyers was the son of a United Mine Worker coal miner born in Lonaconing about six miles down Georges Creek from Frostburg He organized the 10,000 workers at the Celanese synthetic textile mill near Cumberland into Textile Workers Local 1874 He was elected President of the Maryland-D.C CIO and joined the Communist Party USA (CPUSA) in 1939 Army Air Corps in the war to defeat Hitler’s fascism and the first laws against racist job discrimination The National Labor Relations Act was passed Wheeler said Meyers was in the thick of building that grassroots coalition winning huge victories over the fanatic opposition of the most reactionary corporate America was determined to crush the coalition Their weapon was anti-communism and its evil twin to target left-progressive leaders in the labor movement Wheeler’s book quotes extensively from Meyers and United Mine Worker President John L Lewis that the passage of the Taft Hartley Act was corporate America’s “declaration of war on the labor movement.” Wheeler read from the chapter in his book about Meyers’s arrest together with other leaders of the Maryland Communist Party in his tiny apartment in downtown Baltimore He was changing the diaper of his infant son Years of witch-hunt hearings led to thousands of workers The CIO and all left-progressive unions were smashed Meyers served 38 months in prison on false charges of advocating overthrow of the government by “force and violence.” He was one of many leaders of the CPUSA who served long sentences under the Smith Act Meyers spent the rest of his life working to rebuild the labor movement and expose and defeat the “class partnership” hoax foisted on the labor movement by AFL-CIO President George Meany the formation of the Black Caucus in the United Auto Workers a strategy to break the grip of “class partnership” advocated by AFL-CIO President George Meany and restore “class struggle” trade unionism that inspired the CIO Ronald Reagan’s mass firing of 16,500 air traffic controllers brought that struggle to a head Meyers crisscrossed the nation promoting the idea of a mass march on Washington—Solidarity Day when 500,000 union members converged on Washington D.C. demanding a halt to Reagan’s union busting I kept asking myself: Where was George on Solidarity Day?” said Wheeler “I knew he must have joined that labor march Meyers Collection upstairs in this library George and Allie marching in the Solidarity Day parade.” Wheeler opened the book and held it up to show the photo George has written that Allie did not mind the woman embracing him because she is smiling.” Wheeler spent a week retrieving basic source materials from the George A “Libraries are not considered hotbeds of radicalism Yet that is what we are up against right now The Administration in Washington seeks to cleanse our minds remove literature that promotes social change “There are many pages in this book dedicated to libraries and librarians.” “Born Free & Everywhere in Chains,” about George A Meyers’s visit to the Cumberland public library in 1931 where he was greeted by the chief librarian He told Walsh he no longer believed in God but was searching The first book she handed him was Famous Utopias containing Jean-Jacques Rousseau’s Social Contract He often spoke of Rousseau’s charge that private property is the weapon of greed that enslaves humanity It was an insight that changed Meyers’s life forever And now we have an Administration in Washington that bans books wants to burn books!” Wheeler thanked David Gillespie and the library staff for their courage in creating the George A Meyers Collection and adding his book to their stacks An enormous grassroots movement has sprung up to defend democracy and benefits like Medicaid He cited the hundreds who joined the “Hands Off!” rally outside the Social Security Administration on the west side of Baltimore on April 5 and over 100,000 who rallied at the base of the Washington Monument that same day to blast the Trump administration—over two million protesters across the nation must be to rebuild the United Front movement led by George A He read a story he had covered in 1999 headlined “Ashes From the Summit of Dan’s Mountain,” about a Catholic Mass for George A Mary of the Annunciation in Lonaconing a few days after George died in Baltimore This is the church where Meyers served as an altar boy and his mother who told the crowd she was proud to have met and befriended George A “He lived to the full extent the Christian social principles that our church embraces drove Wheeler to the Allegany County Miners’ Memorial in Frostburg that honors the 713
