The University of Maine System has tapped one of its former trustees to lead the push to create a new center to quickly meet the ever-changing workforce needs and boost economic development.
More than 29,000 Maine students are missing enough class time to cause worry among school administrators and state education officials responsible for helping them succeed.
Students heading to one of Maine’s public universities next fall will see their tuition rise by about 2.3 percent under a budget backed Monday by system trustees, but they also could see extra financial help from their schools.
