Proposal:
|
Chancellor Kirwan has requested input from the shared governance bodies of the University System of Maryland through their Council of University System Staff representatives.
In early April, 2009, the Maryland General Assembly expressed its concern about the use of higher education facilities to display or screen materials and films that are defined as obscene by the United States Supreme Court for purely entertainment purposes. The resolution which codified that concern directed the University System of Maryland, Morgan State University, St. Mary's College of Maryland and the Baltimore City College to submit to the General Assembly's budget committees by September 1, 2009, policies adopted by their respective governing boards on the use of those public higher education facilities for the displaying or screening of obscene films and materials. |
