    “STRIVE FOR CLARITY, BUT ACCEPT AND UNDERSTAND AMBIGUITY. That phrase captures one way in which an educated person approaches the world and its challenges. Students who graduate from the University of Maryland have been exposed to the tools that allow them to put that perspective to work. Imparting such a perspective may be an ambitious project for undergraduate education, but to aim for anything less would be unworthy of a great university’s goals for its students. Thirteen years ago, Promises to Keep, a plan for undergraduate education at Maryland, articulated those goals so eloquently we repeat them here. Undergraduate education at Maryland “aims to provide students with a sense of identity and purpose, a concern for others, a sense of responsibility for the quality of life around them, a continuing eagerness for knowledge and understanding, and a foundation for a lifetime of personal enrichment.” As we learn with and from one another, we try to “develop human values,” “celebrate tolerance and fairness,” “contribute to the social conscience,” “monitor and assess private and collective assumptions,” and “recognize the glory, tragedy and humor of the human condition.” Your years at the University of Maryland can provide you with all the tools you need to accomplish these goals. Students here are “educated to be able to read with perception and pleasure, write and speak with clarity and verve, handle numbers and com pu ta tion proficiently, reason mathematically, generate clear questions and find probable arguments, reach substantiated conclusions and accept ambiguity.” AND WE ALSO HOPE YOU ENJOY THE JOURNEY. FEAR THE TURTLE 184 2005-06 MARYLAND MEN’S BASKETBALL UNIVERSITY OF MARYLAND THE CAMPUS LIBRARIES By virtually every measure of quality, the University of Maryland has gained national Seven libraries make up the University of Maryland library system: McKeldin (main) Library, recognition as one of the fastest-rising comprehensive research institutions in the country.

  • University of Baltimore IV-7.1 Inclement Weather Policy
    University of Baltimore IV-7.1 Inclement Weather Policy A. Consistent with USM 170.0 VI-12.00-Policy on Emergency Conditions: Cancellation of Classes and Release of Employees, the University President has the authority to cancel or otherwise modify class and work schedules because of emergency conditions that may arise because of inclement weather, fire, power failure, civil disorder or other unusual circumstances which may endanger students or employees. B. Safety is always the number one priority relative to opening or closing announcements, and we endeavor to make those announcements in a timely fashion. In the Mid-Atlantic region trying to get a handle on the weather is always problematic. The snow totals can range from 1 inch in the west to 11 inches in the south and east. The decision to close or delay during periods of inclement weather is not taken lightly; local and regional forecasts are consulted, condition of state roads, as reported by the Maryland Department of Transportation, the Maryland Transportation Authority, the Maryland State Police, and the Baltimore City Office of Emergency Management are evaluated prior to making a decision about modifying class and work schedules. Moreover, announcements of other area colleges and universities about their own plans are also reviewed and discussed by administrators. In addition, conditions involving the safety and availability of university parking facilities and the condition of the streets adjacent to the university are also assessed. Administrators recognize that weather conditions 20 miles west of UB could be quite different than conditions at the campus. Nevertheless, the final decision rests with the University's goal of accommodating as many of its campus members as possible on a given day.
