In a Maine Public Broadcasting Network radio report about the distribution of Maine Economic Improvement Fund money, UMaine was noted for receiving the bulk of the funds over the years, along with the University of Southern Maine. Lawmakers in the Maine House voted to distribute a percentage of the funds to the other campuses in the UMaine System and Maine Maritime Academy. The bill still faces additional votes in the House and Senate.
