The University of Maryland, College Park will freeze hiring and reduce its staff through retirements and possible layoffs as it attempts to cut $14.6 million from its 2010 budget, President C.D. "Dan" Mote wrote Monday evening in an e-mail to the university community.
The budget reductions will be part of the state university system's $37.8 million contribution to $281 million in cuts ordered by Gov. Martin O'Malley to begin covering a massive shortfall for this fiscal year.
